These puzzles are so fun!!!!!! V obsessed

“Waiting on a Western judicial institution to cast judgment on a killing spree financed and endorsed by the West means, inevitably, watching a disjointed ballet of impossible reconciling.”

“That summer we self-destructed more than we ever had before, and yet we had never been more full of life.”

Oh word

Um so yeah l almost started crying in a cafe so had to take a break

Me if I had to work in office lololol 😭😭😭

Wanted to also say, Dexter is ………. Hmm for the lack of better words, a big headed a**hole

“I love him, she thought, I'm just not in love with him and also I don't love him. I've tried, I've strained to love him but I can't. I am building a life with a man I don't love, and I don't know what to do about it.”

Poor, pitiful Emma

Not to be a b****, but Emma’s life is soooooo ….. unfavorable and dull

Really enjoying this - it’s offering new criticisms and ideas I hadn’t thought about before

This book, as all of James Baldwin’s books tend to do, is going to do something to me.

The foreword by Stacey Abram’s was all I needed to know. Mentally preparing myself

I hate men fr

Started the book w minimal background & only a recommendation. It’s not disappointing- idk what’s going on but like in a good way. A mystery that’s building and I fuck w it

I do think it’s something sus. And it might involved the dad

This world is so fucked

Yes I did see this coming. Yes this sucks major a**. But Yale having to “smooth things over”?!? FUCK THAT. FOR WHAT

Michelle is in fact THAT GIRL

Compared to the other book in reading this does plot twists well and the story lines and well webbed

I want to DNF this book sb. It’s the kinda book that tries to have every plot. I also understand why she’s mentally unwell and moves the way she does but at the same time the plot is getting a little too warped for me

Idk if I’m the target audience for the book. The protagonist is irritating

“But the price of error is higher for you than it is for your countrymen, and so that America might justify itself, the story of a black body's destruction must always begin with his or her error, real or imagined…”

“You are all we have, and you come to us endangered. I think we would like to kill you ourselves before seeing you killed by the streets that America made. That is a philosophy of the disembodied, of a people who control nothing, who can protect nothing, who are made to fear not just the criminals among them but the police who lord over them with all the moral authority of a protection racket.”

‘"Good intention" is a hall pass through history a sleeping pill that ensures the Dream.’
