I need to try a guinep now! The description of Akua's travels through Kingston were so vibrant, and the loss she described when remembering her brother was emotional. I felt that the constant reminiscing while having a conversation was true to life but overdone in the middle of the book. I really enjoyed the first and last 50 pages or so. Akua is a very cool character, I only wish Jayda and Madonna made an earlier appearance in the novel (you don't meet them until 70% into the book).
