WHITNEY WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!! THIS FUCKED ME UP!!!!!! I kid you not I got WAR flashbacks to the first time I watched La La Land!!!!!!!! I was SOBBING at the end oh my GODDDD!!!!!!!!!
This book was the POC combination of all my favorite tropes: multigenerational ethnic family drama featuring the right person at the right time. oh my god I will be haunted by this book forever.
Like, where do I begin?! Every character is just so COMPLICATED in their own ways, and the prose was just beautiful and so deep and I am just emotionally ripped apart by this book. Luckily, I was stitched together by the end, but it was SUCH a hard journey. I’m so glad that somebody convinced Tia Williams to write an epilogue because if she left it the way she did, I would riot- I could not be left in that emotional state that I was in when I finished the book. Eva and her whole lineage of women is just so beautiful and complex that I feel like this was one of those love stories that’s more than the advertised love story and it was just perfect. I feel like it was not even about the romance; it was about everything else, which was so perfect. Audre is so astute for her age. I thought she was 16 this entire time but she’s 12?! No way. And Shane is more than brooding, Male writer; the chapter with Ty was actually devastating and I will think about the way the chapter ended forever. I knew I had to finish the book in one sitting after that paragraph because I was like I cannot leave this book in the state like I need to know to tie in the reveal is just so heartbreaking.
I love that one of Tia Williams’s comps is one day because that’s so perfect. I need to be ripped apart emotionally again in the way this book hurt me.
