I was really hopeful for this story because I’m interested in learning about the black diaspora across the world and it definitely gave me insight into a Jamaican family dynamic. But other than that there was not a strong plot and little to no character development. Nothing really changed by the end of the story except Nana, but maybe it was a representation of how life goes.
