Bailedbailed

I just couldn‘t get through this in time for the #Jamaica ReadingtheAmericas2023 challenge, and it didn‘t capture me. Some of the writing was really eloquent with intriguing characters, but it just seemed to wander around too much for me to fully engage with it. Maybe I‘ll come back to it another time.

Librarybelle If it doesn‘t grab your attention, I‘m a firm believer in bailing or setting to the side for later 11mo

I am on a reading roll. This was very differently from anything I have read. It was reminiscent of some other novels but also unique. Told from different voices and perspectives, it is a story of life and of healing. It was so interesting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

With alternating POV, this little novel spans countries and experiences. McKenzie made each character likeable and I hoped for peace for each one. However, some stories weren‘t complete, and I definitely wanted more.

Thanks to #Edelweiss and #AkashicBooks for the opportunity to read and review this book. Pub date 11/17/2020
I enjoyed this story told from several points of view. Christopher travels to Jamaica to paint and try to forget his grief. He lives with Auntie Della and as he heals the stories of the people in his life are told. I loved the characters, Miss Pretty , Vera, Stephen and others. Each tells their story in unique ways. ⤵️

Crazeedi The ARC has many errors, which made reading a bit of a challenge. I'm sure they will be corrected before publication . Recommend 4y
