I’ve sat with this book for a week now and I am still in awe with the way Zadie Smith writes people. These characters felt real, their flaws are real and each character has a unique voice. Perhaps it’s my small brain, but parts of the book I was lost. I would recommend if you enjoy a character based plot where people make questionable decisions and make you hurl your book across the room
