Oh, Love After Love 🥹 What a superb story!
There is a definite undercurrent of sadness in everyone’s stories; Betty’s, Mr. Chetan’s, Solo’s… The content warnings will be included for each of them below.
But this book also highlights the beauties of love in its many different forms; not just romantic, but familial and in friendship too ❤️ I was so touched by Betty and Mr. Chetan’s decades-long friendship. When you find a gem of a friend like that, keep them close 🙋🏻♀️
Truly a phenomenal set of stories, written in patois. I need more books like this in my life 🥰 5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you 🏳️🌈✨
