"I can only imagine the immense pressure she felt on that first day when she received the call, the feeling that she was standing on the precipice of an momentous event that could change the course of history forever. 🥺 It’s kinda scary to put myself in those shoes. A normal person might’ve caved under the pressure of a seemingly impossible mission, but she took it on with humility and confidence. Wow!" — Oct 01, 2025 10:04PM

"This book is one of the most intriguing stories I’ve ever read so far. I’m growing to really like the author’s writing style as well! The premise of this book - one life split into four simultaneous, alternate realities - is so interesting (though a bit confusing at first… may need to make some kind of tracker to keep them straight)!" — Sep 19, 2025 04:09AM

"I’ve learned a lot in this book so far, about the REAL first Africans in America, about the ACTUAL history of Haïti and why the country is in its current state, and how the foundation of the U.S. has been cracked and unsettled since the beginning. History is DARK, man. 😭" — Sep 19, 2025 04:12AM

“You have such a great fear of freedom, brother. It's shackling you. You've identified so hard with the colonizer, you think any threat to them is a threat to you. When are you going to realize you can't be one of them?”
