Art, power, love, murder, and finding yourself all come together in this challenging and beautiful novel. I felt so much rage, sorrow, and hope while reading this work. It is a work that particularly to me as a Chicana woman reminds me to not make myself small, or palatable to a white gaze and be myself, and demand change in systems.
