Lies We Tell Ourselves

It's hard to review the book because even though I enjoyed the story I don't know if it should be told by a white woman. This doesn't mean white people cannot write characters of color, but I felt really uncomfortable reading some parts of the book because of it. I also don't really know if it's all that ok for a white person to be writing the n word so many times. I am also not from the US, but still.

Another problem is that Linda literally comes to her senses because she thinks Sarah is different and not because she realizes they're all human beings (which also makes me wonder what Sarah saw in her because Linda was truly awful sometimes).

So yeah, I'd cautiously recommend the book? Maybe? I do appreciate the research she did to write it though.
