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 🥹
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.
