on chapter 9 where barack falls for michelle 🥹

cute christmas break rom-com. the sweet and spicy vibes, banter and tension between frankie and ophelia is entertaining and fun!

slow to start, but an interesting spin on the first parable book. flipping back and forth between the perspectives of Lauren and her daughter in the new dystopian version of america is keeping it interesting. shocking how much of what Butler wrote about as narrative is what we’re actually experiencing now irl.

This story is sweet but very predictable. Each character, Hattie, Erica, Claudia, and Anna have different problems that their lifestyle has presented them with. Each of them have to come together to support each other through emotional decisions and feelings that impending change brings. It’s nice that the focal point of the book is based on the female friendships and not as much their romantic relationships!
