This is the definition of literary girl dinner. The tangibility that Brown paints into my ears is at times gorgeous, but mostly a source of unease. Everybody should read this.

I needed something to desperately get me out of a reading slump and this was a recommended read. I am SO glad I read it 👏🏼

A Black British woman navigates the white world around her and my oh my, it’s not a pleasant place to be 🙄 I highlighted so many quotes from this book, one of which was:
‘Best case: those children grow up, assimilate, get jobs and pour money into a government that forever tells them they are not British. This is not home.’

How Natasha Brown managed to capture SO MANY EXPERIENCES (and nuances) into a 112 page novel I will never know. I thoroughly appreciated it though 🫠

4.5 out of 5 stars from me, thank you ✨

Started this book not knowing what to expect. Then three hours had gone by and I’d finished the book.

It’s not an easy read. This book touches on big, systemic problems. The author finds amazing ways to discuss the ever present discomfort and tension, while keeping it very intimate.

Definitely check this book out!
