Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo
4.0

Goodness, this took me a while to get through! And I think there’s good reason for that - each chapter is a new character, and you delve deeply into each character’s world. It makes this book really rich, but also a bit difficult to get through and keep picking up.

That being said, the writing is really good! I liked the wide range of perspectives, though I do think a few of the last chapters felt rather similar to each other (but maybe that’s just me getting used to how the author writes? (Then again, it’s still on the author to make their character’s voices and stories different enough so that they don’t run together like this… hm.)). An enjoyable read.
