Caleb Azumah Nelson does it again 👏🏼 Small Worlds encapsulates so much love and especially during the second half, I found it hard to put down 🥹 
Of course Joy’s death hit me hard and made me weep, but we still manage to grieve and love her ❤️ Everything in this book is so human which I think is one of its biggest attractions!


I ‘only’ give it 4.5 stars out of 5, because although it was phenomenal, nothing has done it for me quite in the same way that Open Water has since I finished that 😂 Still brilliant though and highly recommend reading Small Worlds, thanks ✨
