Read for uni, really interesting to read and study. Love the topic of the Harlem renaissance, the settings of both NYC and Chicago and the character's places in them really come to life. And very interesting reflections on race, class.

This book was like a race focused version of the Great Gatsby. It has a lot of the ideas of that book and is set around the same time. I liked the psychological elements of the book, but the characters got on my nerves a bit. I loved the ending, it was so crazy and shocking! All together kinda eh, but still overall ok.
