Still stuck in the introduction. I’m excited but I have to train my brain to read at this level again

Once again another book to pull me out of a slump

I can’t believe Alberta’s death was so tragic. The King family has truly gone through so much

Wow, and there it is!!! It can only get more interesting moving forward

The fact that Malcom died a year after Louise was released is just such a travesty that I don’t know if I quite have the words to address it. This book is so well done, I was surprised I’m already so close to the end.

Yay! More than halfway! This is really helping me to get my reading brain back. Very much enjoying it 🥰

Louise’s troubles are unbelievably unbearable. To have read about her as a young girl to this chapter is a horrific gap.

I am not a mother and still on the fence about whether I will be one, but it’s interesting how each woman has something in common with me or my ideals. Amazing women

I really appreciate how Tubbs acknowledged both agency and the effects of oppression and access to resources when discussing how Alberta’s marriage was more peaceful than Louise or Berdis’.

I really love discussions around beauty because I feel like I only came into mine within the last five or so years.

Was not raised in the hood but I’m a Black American woman. This book is not for me! Lol

As a Black woman, this doesn’t seem like I’m the target audience. But my book club is reading it so it never hurts to have more information

I am really enjoying how this is written. Each chapter I have 3 different stories to look forward to. Louise being into Garveyism makes perfect sense to Malcolm X and Alberta being in the church and NAACP makes perfect sense for MLK. And Berdis being into writing makes perfect sense for James Baldwin. Off their teenage years alone their children’s lives were framed. That is WILD. And awesome

As flowery as the writing is, it’s very easy to read. I also like the slow reveal of Red as being from a technology driven world and Blue being from a bohemian natural “elf world” (as Red would say). I very much like this so far! I like both of the characters. As much as I like technology, I think I would rather be of Blue’s society

I am excited! Here from NoName’s Reads

It’s Marisol. And I hate her even if it isn’t. How you call someone a misogynist for being trans. I’ve never wanted to fight a character in my life until now

The trip to the room. This celebration is just so OMINOUS. This last trip to the room is what is going to get her stuck here forever

Oh no. The worst things always happen when you’re ready to go home. This is reallllll bad whew

At this point Noemí you need to BOUNCE. Get back home and then bring your father for backup. This is BAD NEWS. F*ck a master’s degree if you’re not alive to receive it!

I think the wine has something to do with the dreams
