I wanted to give it 4 but I couldn't because I hate any moment with the main girl. Not Evelyn but the one that she is giving the tell all she is just uhh. Also the whole ordeal with keeping bringing up that she is biracial at random points just made me extra mad. But I just love Evelyn and Harry and Celia just honestly the whole parts where she is talking about the past. I also like how she is open to say that yeah she knows that she isn't a good person and accepts that. I don't think I'm obsessed with the book I think I'm obsessed with Evelyn like that women truly is an icon and if this book was just about her and we didn't have to see the whole thing with the main girl it would be an instant 5 star for me because the story she was telling about her life was just amazing. Like we followed her for multiple decades talking about her life and I loved everything about it. Idk I wish I could rate it higher but I can't but I truly have become a advocate for this book like I would truly recommend it to people because her story is just so fun to read.

Update thought about it and there's so much micro aggressions and aspects that play into white authors writing POC characters. It's a good book plot wise though
