Hello Mum is a nice, short introduction to Bernadine Evaristo’s work, but I felt like it could have definitely been a lot better. I really didn’t enjoy how the main character was written and it felt really stereotypical, like the ‘average’ bad boy. I listened to this as an audiobook and although I loved how the narrator spoke the lines, I had to put it on 2.0x just to get through it.
