A Broken People's Playlist by Chimeka Garricks
4.0
One of the most beautiful things about this collection is how familiar all the characters feel. I don’t know if it’s their Nigerianess, the “brokenness” or because at some point I’ve heard stories similar to these and reading about them in a book felt surreal.
A Broken’s People Playlist is a collection of 12 short stories, written under the influenceof 12 songs. I started this book thinking about broken people in a literal way. Sad. Therapy. Pain. Loss. Tears. Trauma.
But these stories are bittersweet, you’d smile, you’d laugh, a tear may drop, your heart will ache and your skin will tingle at the familiarness of the story, at the beautiful writing of Chimeka Garricks.
