The book started off just a tad bit slow for me, but still I enjoyed learning about Alethea and her life. Despite what happened to her in her past and what she was currently going through, she was a strong woman. Familial trauma is not something you can forget or get over no matter how old you are, and we get to see her journey working through that. Also really loved that the story was narrated in Alethea’s native tongue of Trinidadian creole, gave it an authentic feel
