I fucking LOVED everything about this book!!!!

The Jamaican culture, proverbs, language, myths and daily thought process of the average Jamaican was displayed superbly throughout this book. 

The author did an immaculate job describing places, scenes, emotions and people. Enough so that since I’m in St. James I literally got up this weekend and drove my dumb ass to Steer town the next parish over and walked in St. Ann’s Bay while I read, ate a cheese patty from the Juici Beef in Annotto Bay and sat in Steer Town Square for a few minutes and just smiled. It was so refreshing to see a perfectly done Jamaican dark romance that I teared up for a moment. 

Mind you, Favi and Chichi ah 2 bludclaat mad ppl way make Zade and Adeline look like Disney character tpc 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ but me love dat!!!! And when Favi chop off Dayshawn head and leff it in front ah Chezzy TV and Chichi decide say alright she nah wile him and send him Patrizia head right back, me did affi drop ah grung and laugh and say Yeah man, dat is it!! THAT is love!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
