A review by carly_reads
Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson

emotional reflective sad
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

This was hard for me to rate because on one hand, it is an incredibly beautiful story about love, fear, what it means to exist in a black body, art, and so much more. However, there were times that the repetition in the name of a poetic writing style was not for me. I do think this is a must read though, especially in terms of theme.
