Initially I was a little disappointed at some of the turns the tale was taking, but once it started layering the family history I really enjoyed it

This book started really well and was a really interesting look at the racism experienced in the workplace etc. however the Jamaican section was confusing - the stories had no clear narrator and were very hard to follow.
Graphic: Racial slurs
Moderate: Misogyny
Minor: Miscarriage
