A somewhat late coming of age story with our main character being Emira a 20s (something?) working with herself and finding her footing in several ways. Navigating relationships and forward thinking to career in the end.
I'm really loving Emira, she is incredibly smart and kind. She seems very go with the flow and rolls with the punches, BUT she still has a courageous heart and thinks for herself! She takes the time to consider things and especially connects with the girl she babysits because she also shares curiosity and thoughtfulness.
Skip to Alix, feels like a try hard for feminism and wokeness. I feel like this is an example of a white woman who would vote for 45? I've read some people got attached to her, idk, as soon as she made a living off sending letters, children, and the shallowness of an influencer who has to pretend they live in new york still? She immediately was annoying to me and showed her true colors further in.
The writing was really well crafted, the audiobook was amazing and the dialog was genuine and a satisfying slow build to learn more about the characters and their story together. It kind of has a domestic racism feel, and you can see the conflict without doubt. Once you see it, you can pin point lots of events together.
Great book! I recommend!
