A review by bookishfaye
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Another book with genre-breaking house metaphor & it’s so deeply sad and melancholic.

I was very invested the entire time with these toxic gays; this would have been a 5 star read if it wasn’t for some of the outdated & problematic moments that were a tad hard to overlook entirely
