This book is so weird and ridiculous but very entertaining. I’ve always been curious about the blue people of Kentucky, but this version of the story seemed pretty unrealistic. The parallels the author drew between the blue people and Black people were cringey at times because while I’m sure they faced discrimination, their experiences are totally different.
