A review by zahin
Mr Loverman by Bernardine Evaristo

3.0

Can't believe I finished this book liking Carmel out of all people. God I regret picking this book up. The main character was entertaining for the first 50 pages and after that I wanted nothing more than to strangle a 70 year old man. I loved Morris. He's lovely. There were some slurs used which I believe at my current understanding of LGBTQ+ history that not even non-men should use- that are reserved solely for men. That was something that stood out to me as an err. I like Evaristo's writing and will definitely be picking more up (one of which is literally my uni reading) but this book wasn't the most satisfactory.
