Short book but felt really slow and took me very long to finish it. Promising concept but bad execution in my opinion.
The format and the writing was interesting. I liked the caribean setting and the creole language. The first part of the book captivated me, but at the end it felt tiring and repetetive.
I was also kind of surprised that this book was written by a woman. It felt sexist to me.
