Anything that has testimonials from Bernadine Evaristo AND Caleb Azumah Nelson has to be read 👏🏼

So glad I picked this one up at the library 📚 It took me a while to get through
and Moose’s death had me GRIEVING 😫
but every time I picked it up I kept going and loving it 🥹

I am SO glad we escaped Monassa AND THEN fucked him up too 🫠 I was initially excited because he seemed charming, but as Yamaye got bamboozled by him I realised that was my anxious attachment style saying ‘But he’s a nice man’ 🙊 Never again. Fuck him!

Yamaye was such a fantastic narrator and I felt like I could visualise everything that was going on throughout the years. I felt many of the excitements and nerves she felt!
4 out of 5 stars, thank you so much ✨

This book made me think a lot about my life. I reflected on what I truly want, and it was inspiring to see the character take an active role in her life after being mostly influenced by her comfortable friends.
