im really enjoying this.
and its not that surprising considering i remember how much i liked ‘there, there’ but its been a while, this alone is making me want to give that one another go afterwards.

mwah!

shout to taia for this one

‘The difficulty with conversion is simply that when a man changes to please a woman rather than from his own inner conviction, the changes are likely to be superficial.’ — real.

‘Most heterosexual women have been involved with a man who had some negative behavior they “fixed,” only to find that in time of conflict or crisis that behavior resurfaced.’ — a classic case of: you cant fix him sister!

‘looking for love and looking for a man are two very different agendas’

right you are, bell.

If someone loves us but we are trapped by self-hatred, their love will never reach us. We will question it, devalue it, be like the heroine of Nikki Giovanni’s “Woman Poem,” who declares, “i ain’t shit you must be lower / than that to care.”

+ nikki giovanni pull & rip to both of them.

‘I remember urging Mama with all the hubris and wild courage of late-sixties adolescence to leave Dad. And I have never forgotten the sad and weary look on her face when she turned to me, saying in the smallest voice, “Who would want me?” With pure adolescent wonder..’

… queen??

exactly, lock tf in kyoshi!!!

first of all: gay.
second: i started reading this two days ago and forgot about it here
third: if kyoshi dont call it quits with this random crying after feeling bad for herself; girl ur the avatar! and you got a bad btch at home waiting for you! counting on you!! shut up!!!

not finishing. this is really not working for me audibly. back to the full text it is.

her husband is toeing the line for me
dpmo before this book ends 🤨

the bookclub sloughs on with or without me 🙂‍↕️

i’ve seen the reviews about this book and all but the first chapter wasnt too bad at all. my hopes are in between but on the up

‘you are not dead & popeye’s is out of spicy. in heaven, they’d never. in heaven, even they biscuits be moist. but heaven ain’t yours yet, them biscuits dry as fuck, so God gave you honey & tea & kisses & lovers who spit in your mouth when asked’

tea.

this audiobook is so hard to get through for some reason. thinking of calling it quits after the 3 chapter ends and stick with the text. i’ve listened to the first two chapters probably 5 times over, yikes.
