I love that this book doesn't shy away from making you uncomfortable cause you should be uncomfortable with harsh realities of being gay in Jamaica and it is still a problem today

Listening to the audiobook while reading cause of all of the patois, Part 2 has such good voice actors.

The one French word in this being used wrong over and over lol

It already 5 stars mhmm, happy to be back in one of his books. Immediately grabs you from the first sentence

Dnf such boring characters

I'm gonna give this a book a few more chapters but as of right now, not a very interesting story

"By treating her like a goddess, he forces her to act like a goddess... But the man is then free to act like a human being" this short story is so brilliant of how it was written, you inside of a mind who is grieving their friend who gave her life too much to men

So far I love this book and all of the black history people don't think about anymore

One of the short stories being about how they tried to go into a white establishment and got arrested. Of course they being dressed fancy didn't matter at all

This book does captures how discriminatory Nigeria can be especially towards women

It almost reminds me of Percy Jackson books, how he meet random powerful people that just wanna play tricks and games

This family drama scene so good 🤭

I just love how she used imagery in this book and it is very continuous and consistent

Dnf. I don't like the writing style at all

Such a time capsule, I keep having to Google so many things that was apparently a trend in the 70s

Thankfully the audio is good cause I get bored reading it physically

As always I love it here even with Valerian being an asshole

Such good writing. Really embodies Brooklyn back in the day

This man stressing me out lol what a life

Best page in the book that really embodies the beauty of NY

It has that same rhythm everything everywhere all at once has

These characters feel so fake

This book feels like a Netflix series (derogatory)

This book is about Jamaica but everything still leads back to the US wanting to regain power over Cuba the most and getting rid of allies

At the heart of this book, it is about neocolonialism

Very romantasy coded but done way better

This book kinda reminds me of chewing gum just more lgbtq

Dante stays pissing me off

I can already tell this book is amazing

Never cared about the great Gatsby but this book is good, I'm so entertained
