This book is so boring but not in a dull way in a this writer is trying to write way, but the images are so vivid it’s like watching a film waiting for it to get to the good bit

Just started reading it’s more poetry than anything else it’s weird to read but it makes sense I have a feeling I won’t finish this book as it’s abit boring but I’m going to push through

I love book so far it’s really romanticising the formation of the group of poets and humanising them more, I did look at some of the comments people made about to book on Goodreads and the only reason they don’t identify with the book is because they are non black! you don’t identify or relate or appreciate what’s going on in the forward because you are OTHERED for once in your lived experience

This book is so interesting it gives a different view on toxic families and the cycles they go through as one grows up and being unedifying Tara had a terrible time, I’m glad she cut her dad off but I think her mother needed to be held at the same standard as she was just as abusive and was an enabler of Shawn

She’s at Cambridge doing well, I think she has self sabotage issues thou

I’ve never read a book where I keep thinking omg when will her dad die. I’ve never hated a character so much. I think this book give a good view on what it could be like living as a child a part of Mormonism with a two mentally ill/challenged parents

Good concise writing with a good story line I like it

This book is chaotic to say the least, for most of it I was lost but I got the general storyline, I think this book wa sad in a heartwarming type of way? I’ve never really thought about some of the topics the main character when through and he sort of random accident search for companionship in her affair partners family. I’d give it 5/10

This book is funny and honest, I feel like I wrote the book as well as it being written about me, I’m only 26 but I feel this book to my core
