This book of short stories contains stories about a myriad of women living very different lives. The thread connecting all of these stories is their discussions on race in America. Some of the stories were more laid back than others, but every one had an impactful message. The last story still has me shaking. Evans does an incredible job of creating all of these unique women with different experiences that all interact with race in different ways. Every story felt like it ended so abruptly, but I really felt like it worked with the content of each of these stories. I would recommend this book to anyone. This review is short because I don't want to spoil any of the stories.
