I am so envious of whoever gets to read this for the first time.
I have no words. None.
Well, okay, maybe a few.
This is honestly one of the most phenomenal books I have read in quite a long time, and I read a LOT 😂 I was slow to read it only because I kept putting it down after crying, screaming, throwing up (or well, gasping a lot) 👏🏼
Caleb Azumah Nelson does an incredible job in his debut novel. I honestly cannot praise it enough. I urge EVERYONE to read it ❤️
Obviously 5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
