I have to think about this one and the ending in particular. Like, I mean look up wtf the ending was. Maybe I’m missing something, but what?

The writing style is fantastic. Truly, I’ll read anything by Danzy Senna because I know that the reading experience will be enjoyable. I know her writing will keep me engaged because she has superb pacing and tempo and a talent for melodic paragraph writing. The transitions between sentences and paragraphs were flawless. 

But the plot was just vibes for sure. Maria was definitely a dynamic character with questionable morals - which I love. A character that I’m not sure I should get behind or not is a draw for me. But overall I’m confused by the entire ending/wrap-up. I feel like it’s definitely something symbolic that went WAY over my head. To Reddit I go.
