I was giggling and cackling so often while listening! The audiobook, with three narrators, is very well done.
While Joey is a side character, he's the comedic relief and my absolute favorite.
I LOVED the LGBTQ+ rep in the side characters.

The Black Unicorn: Poems by Audre Lorde

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.

I couldn't understand most of the poems without additional context.
I needed a college class or something where I could learn where the author was coming from and what types of poems she was writing.
The poems I understood were profound and beautiful.
But I decided not to finish because I'd rather spend my limited reading time on something I enjoy more.
