I loved that it split between the characters POVs because it really gave you deep insight into their feelings which made everything hit a lot deeper. Also, the depiction of Trinidadian culture was very well done; from the descriptions of food/cooking, the dialect, to the nasty parts like the raging homophobia in Trinidadian society. It was just a very REAL book and I throughly enjoyed it.
