Review: Kept My Interest From Start to Finish - It's a sobering read that evoked intense feelings within me. It made me bawl like a baby at certain parts and oddly enough provided a bit of unexpected therapy. The writer has a natural way with written expression that almost seems effortless. I absolutely love the way the story unfolded and ended. It wasn't abrupt. Neither did it leave me desiring more. It felt satisfying as though the writer carefully and neatly wrapped up her novel in smooth, crisp gift wrapping and garnished it with a subtle bow.
Review: Bad Copy but Marshall Captures the Afro West Indian American experience perfectly - I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this book until recently. As a West Indian American myself, I often complain that our experiences aren’t often articulated in literature. This novel is perfection. The characters are delicately complex, and Marshall’s precise language makes all of the scenes palpable, there is no way one cannot get lose in every scene, feeling the softness or intensity of every moment. Highly recommend. On the other hand, this copy had numerous spelling errors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ >It's a good pacing and a easy read
*by M***N on June 16, 2016*

PURPOSE: I read this book twice for two different immigrant/ethnic lit classes. PROS: >There are so many interesting characters in this book. They all have such a strong sense of presence that sometimes overshadows the main character. >It's a good pacing and a easy read. I could barely stop turning the pages. >This book makes you feel. CONS: >Some dialogue is heavy with accent. Can be hard to read at times. OVERALL THOUGHTS: Very compelling book. The second time I was assigned this book for class, I thought it would be boring because I've already read it once. But the second time was just as good. A lot of class discussion can be generated from this book. Very good read.
