Status Updates From Tumbling

love the way the author is world building and the fact that the main women’s names are Ethel and Noon… it doesn’t get better. and i LOVE books set in 20th century black america

OMGGHGGGGG major plot event! Liz is MENTALLY ILL likeeeee omg when did she do that to Fannie, it’s about to get real 😭

Ethel coming back is so tea. Like this is going to shake things up for sure on top of the tension that’s already there. The whole family is a hot mess and Willie Mann is trifling but when are men not lol. The imagery of the colors not just in this chapter but throughout is 😘 *chefs kiss* likeee Fannies yellow, Ethel’s red, and club royales blue air all make so much sense

Fannie is such a smart and funny child! Now Ethel you know...🙄

Herbie is testing my patience and I've only just begun. I feel bad for Noon!
