As someone who loves reggae music already this story was so perfect to me. I loved the history and the characters. This was so timely, too. So much of the struggles of Irie and Jilly are seen in the present day. Loved the dual narration and cried so much at the end. A must read in my opinion! And who has the playlist of all the songs mentioned bc there were so many good ones!
