WOW. WOW WOW WOW. Hannah Sawyerr's sophomore novel is just as good as her first—I devoured it in a day, riveted by Truth's voice, Sawyerr's nuanced exploration of choice and generational trauma was so deftly handled, and her poetry cuts like a knife. I'm so glad young people get to read her novels, and can't wait to push this one into the hands of everyone I know.

Sawyerr's sophomore novel is even more astounding than the first. Stunning poetry, and Truth is someone I really enjoyed rooting for. Her challenges with her mother are so real and complex. Her relationship with herself is the star of the show, here, and I really enjoyed seeing her workshop her poetry throughout. I cannot wait to recommend this.
