Description

An ideal, extreme debut book. Three siblings rip their way through childhood— striking tomatoes throughout one another, building kites from garbage, concealing out when their parents do fight, tiptoeing throughout the house as their mom rests off her graveyard shift. Paps and Mum are from Brooklyn—he’s Puerto Rican, she’s white—and their love is just a severe, harmful factor which makes and unmakes a household often. Existence in this household is absorbing and intense, saturated in heartbreak and turmoil and the excitement of belonging totally one to the other.
