Bernadine Evaristo’s writing style is not something I come across often- intentional lack of punctuation,  split lines that read more like poetry than prose, but after  the first 5 pages or so, I got used to the writing style. I liked how the characters were connected through intersectionality, but there were so many I had to go back to the chapters to remember who was who.

I really liked Dominque’s, Bummi’s, and Morgan’s chapters.
