Reviews

Donald Morgan

I absolutely adored how raw, beautiful, sexually charged the stories were. What a beautifully written collection of interwoven short stories! . Highly recommended.

Helene

! The stories cover many sensitive topics: religion (of course), poverty, family, sex, love, food, homophobia, and more. I could not give it less than 5 stars.

Andrea

All about the overlooked and undervalued inner and outer lives of black women. The media could not be loaded. Thank you @pushkin_press and @netgalley for the copy. The stories cover religion, families, love, sexuality, colourism and a woman’s lot.

It’s a tight, bold, strong collection and I loved it! They’re funny and smart and you feel really invested in the characters and their relationships.

Fabulous! But perhaps not to gift to older, prudish relatives. I read this collection in 2 sittings. All views are my own.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. It will be firmly in my top 3 of 2022 reads, I'm sure.
