At first this book felt great - rather Gatsby-esque, being set in the jazz age, but in black Harlem.

However the narrative constantly switched from first person (various different POVs) to third person, and often part way through a chapter.

The large cast of characters, many of whom weren‘t very rounded, meant that I struggled to care for them or their stories.

Other reviewers seem to have loved this though..! 😁

gradcat I‘m glad you gave us a good review of this...it‘s one I‘ve been considering. 😊♥️ 6y

It‘s an ARC but still, using the wrong word drives me crackers!

He was trying to be discreet, not discrete...

So cross that my tail is flicking wildly from side to side.... 😁🐿

cherinium Yeah, things like that are a big reason I have no desire to get into the ARC game. Give me the final product, and I will be happy! 6y
