I am sad that the book had to come to an end

This may be one of the best books I have ever read. It is a coming of age/coming of queer story that will grip your heart and male you feel panicked at the thought of having to stop reading. It is also a cross cultural exchange. America and Trinidad. It is love, it is hope, it is joy, it is sadness. It is a must read.

Savor this book

Allow it to wash over you and to carry you across oceans and through space. Let the lyricism slip over you and allow yourself to sink into the deep themes of the novel. Experience the emotional tumult of Audre and Mabel and thrill at their complex, intelligent, and gentle characterization. One of the best books I’ve read this decade. I listened to it on audiobook and am excited to re-experience it through reading. In addition to recommending this book I want to advise readers to trust in it. When you read it it is worth letting go and allowing the book to take you on its own journey. We are safe in Junauda Petrus’ hands.

This story is a gift

The intersections and beauty of this book are something unique and fully authentic. I’m so thankful for this book as a queer person, an educator and as a minneapolis resident! All three of the readers were wonderful! The poetry creating new sections set a magical tone.

Absolutely Beautiful

This book is written well, and it kelp my attention the entire book. I listened to it twice because it was that good. You will not be disappointed. It’s one of the best books I’ve listened to in a while. It’s heartbreaking and romantic at the same time.

Beautiful Story

The beginning drugged a little bit for me. The switching between characters. As the story went further, the story turned into something beautiful. I like to read stories with strong Black women. Good storyline.

Moving

The writing and the narrators are outstanding. Very much worth the read. The book did NOT follow a predictable path, and the journey felt so authentic

Beautiful read

Wow! This was a beautiful read. I loved how each character had their own voice and how those voices made me feel connected to them. I really love how the book ended. I visualized the book as a movie.

WOW!

Im blown away with this story. One of the best I have heard in awhile.

So Goood

This story was so captivating! The character development was effortless and so believable. As a 30 yr old black queer lesbian from Brooklyn, i vibed with this story so hard. It brought mw back to my childhood and all its memories. I will definitely buy the physical book!
