If You Want to Make God Laugh by Bianca Marais
4.0
WOW WOW JUST WOW!!!!! Now I understand why so many people love this book. Have you ever read a book but then afterward you need to marinate and can’t stop thinking about the characters? Well that was IYWTMGL.
What I liked:
- Even though, this book is set in the 1990s in South Africa however, I think it still applies today not only in South Africa.
- This 432 pages book is packed with important topics such as race discrimination, second chance, love, the meaning of family, wealth vs poverty, and more
- I liked Zodwa and Delilah right away but it took me a while to warm up to Ruth because I sure did not like her thoughts process. ( I don’t know how to express why it took me a while to like Ruth without spoiling.)
- Bianca Marais is such a great storyteller because her descriptions are so vivid. I feel like this was not the quick research that she did for these topics discussed in the book.
If you are looking for a book about friend, love, and make you cry then this book is it. I strongly recommend it.
