A review by yumoh91
The Mayor of Maxwell Street by Avery Cunningham

2.0

[2.5] Silly coded fr fr. I had to laugh at the final reveal because truly because it made the plot holes even more huh??? There is unreliable narration/plot twists and then there is just confusing writing. Also, characterization in this book is soo weird at time to get social commentary across. The whole main love story really was me being like a Tomas stan and then being absolutely right because Jay was a little weirdo whose such a cringefail criminal mastermind in my opinion. Nelly pissed me off so bad for 90% of the book like she's just the picture of stupidity which makes her perfect for her man whose not her man Jay whose equally dumb af. She gets innocent folks murdered and he's a murderer slayyyyy. I'm also so confused at crime attribution in this book like which crimes were mob and which are Jay (maybe that's the point but it is soooo dumb since if you even think for 2 minutes, it starts to makes little sense).
