**Jamaica’s Next Best Selling Author**
People on Facebook deserve to see this book on the New York Times list, Jamaica’s Times list, or any other notable award list. This book is funny, deep, realistic, and culturally well-presented, down to the dialogue and the spelling of Creole phrases with intricate details. The vernacular is excellent. You couldn’t write this book, and you wouldn’t think you could read it authentically if you did not live in Jamaica or experience what is considered an average life there. This book has so many cultural details relevant to the times we are living in right now that I believe it needs to be reviewed by domestic violence survivors who can actually speak about their experiences. It is not just a book; it is a lifestyle and a cultural icon. I think the author did an amazing job ensuring that the smallest details were not missed. If there was a hitch in Aniyah’s breath before she spoke, it was included. The body language was perfect. Small cultural nuances were captured so well. I am trying not to spoil the book for anybody, but there is nothing in this book that you would not find enjoyable as a reader.
As an author currently writing my own book that deals with themes of domestic violence, I am incredibly inspired by how she presented it. The fact that she included other themes from contemporary society is indicative of what survivors have to endure. Surviving isn’t as simple as making a phone call; it's often a matter of life or death. Additionally, I think this book was written for a Caribbean audience because of the Creole language used. While other Caribbean islands might not get all the phrases or vernacular, it’s still relatable across the board. There are also not many translations, which I appreciate because translating Creole into English doesn’t transfer well. Just like how phrases in other languages mean completely different things when converted to English, the setting, dialogue, and tone give off a different vibe and meaning.
I’ve given you my review, and now I’m going to tell you why you should read this book. If you want to become more acquainted with the culture of domestic violence in Jamaica or its socio-cultural context in terms of morality, sociology, or even psychology, you should read this book. It specifically deals with unconventional methods of survival. I believe there is still a lot of work to be done in Jamaica in terms of believing victims the first time and not needing physical evidence. This would allow them to have a better chance of surviving and living a fulfilling life afterward. We should not turn our eyes away from this book because it addresses these issues head-on. Everyone over 18 or 20, who is not triggered by these topics, should read it. Although there is a lot of open-door romance, these scenes are used to tell a story and demonstrate how sex is used in a controlling way and what it looks like in a healthy intimate relationship. The placement of these scenes and their flashbacks were tasteful. They were not unnecessarily explicit or meant purely to add spice. They were included to showcase the real and raw manipulative nature of intimacy. While I won’t be including similar scenes in my own work, I can see why it was necessary for her book, and I enjoyed reading them from an inspirational standpoint.
To conclude, this is a story of survival. It is the story of many Jamaican women and, by extension, women globally. Many have to fight to survive, and this was a fight for her life that ended in a beautiful love story and a beautiful resolution.

This book was truly amazing, the writing was captivating and had me unable to sleep at nights because I just wanted to know what was happening next. Ishanique kept me on the edge of my seat with every chapter. Love love love Tint!! Big recommendation to everyone who wants a good romance but not traditional romance book to read. If you’re a fan of Jamaican books and authors like me, it’s a must read.

I loved this book. I started it on Wattpad and justt hadddd to buy the paperback just so I could finish the book. It took a while to really hook me but once i got into it, I never regretted it. Aniyah's character development is actually amazing and I relate to it a bit, in the sense of not being a push over, putting yourself first, protect your peace and do whatever that makes you happy.

I loved this book.
Tint allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of what real Jamaican love looks like. Even though the relationship had its ups and downs, love still conquered everything in the end.

An ok read
I wanted more from this story. There was little to no character growth throughout the story, and it was flat. It had so much more potential based on the plot but fell short in the end.

Brilliant writer
She had me hooked from page 1. She explores the emotions realistic not sugar coating. I cannot wait to read her third novel.

I think the plot had potential but needs more development. The book was definitely too long it could be cut in half, to be honest.
