This memoir has to be one of if not the best memoir I have ever read in my entire life. Safiya Sinclair clearly took her time to paint a very clear picture of what her life was like growing up Rastafarian.

Hers is a story of pain and glory. What I absolutely love and appreciate about this story is the uniqueness of it. I was happy to learn more about Rastafarisnism customs especially.

Safiya and her family went through a lot, all members. Her father, I think is the most notable character. I love how in the midst of all the trauma the family experienced growing up with him, I cant help but feeling it made all of them stronger. I felt sad for him because, it seemed he had a vision of how his life would have turned out and felt like a failure in a way.

I cannot wait for my book club to unpack this.

This is a masterpiece.

The year started off really crazy for me however, I was to get through all that was going on with yet another amazing book by Colleen Hoover. Now if you have been following my reviews you will know that I am on a mission to read all the books by this author.

Too Late is one of my favourites. I like romantic stories with a storyline and Sloan and Luke's story was really dramatic to say the least. In Too Late we meet Sloan, a young woman who had to make some hard decisions because of the hands she was dealt in life. She finds some comfort in her boyfriend ASA.

Asa is involved in shady dealings and is dealing with demons of his own. While undercover Luke gets a first hand view of the life of Asa. He suddenly becomes very intent on saving Sloan before it is Too Late.

Filled with suspense, drama and romance. Too Late is indeed a page turner.
