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

Man this book is hitttttiiinngggg

Reagan doesn’t get enough hate. Straight up f*** him

Veryyyyy strong author voice

Ummmm what the helly

I’m enthralled

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.’
CLOCKED

If I become a housewife, please lobotomized me

I actually hate Yash. Well okay hate is a strong word. But I strongly dislike him and think she needs to stop engaging w him

This book is getting annoying. She has an anxious attachment style and I’m kinda over it. All of this for a man??

Like any good book starts, I was on a flight, had it in my kindle library and started it wo knowing what it was about and OHHHHHHH. Um so kinda disturbed w a lot of what’s going on but also I can’t seem to stop reading?

This year’s Booker Prize winner and like yeah okay I get it

I’m fully sat. This book is MAUH chefs kiss. Ngl I’m learning a new word every couple of pages but I love that shit

EV, Ave D, Apt 2B & she’s at Rays 😭


Close to what was once home. Reading books based in NYC always make be reminisce

This book PMO. Why wasn’t her DAD called up?!?!? Like helloooooooo

OOOOOOPPP. So we’re at the juicy part.

Yes, the tumblr-esque quotes are LOL but fully sat rn. This is giving lifetime thriller movie

I like the overall plot + learning about bees. It can, however, be a little cheesy / cringe at times

There’s not a whole lot of plot tbh. But nevertheless I’m intrigued enough to keep reading. Summing it up to the protagonist having a very distinct, clear voice. It’s hard not to picture him in action

This scene just PMO. This kid can’t catch annnyyyyy break??????????????

I HATE IT HERE. I SWEAR, THE FASTEST WAY FOR A WOMAN TO RUIN HER LIFE IS TO END UP W THE WRONG GUY UGGHHHHHHHHHHH
