pickI enjoyed it so much! It was a perfect way to start the year and provided a real eye-opener into the lives of people in Jamaica.
The book does an amazing job describing Jamaican life, food, scenery, and settings. And the food! It had me salivating, I could almost taste it all!

Always happy to be in Japan 🇯🇵 I am in Tokyo this time with a mother and daughter who grief for their husband / father who died in an suicide with another woman.
pickMaybe it was all the hype around this book before I read it, but I‘ll say I liked this but didn‘t love it. The characters felt artificial and manufactured to me at many points in the story, doing what you‘d expect them to do. It just didn‘t come together for me and I didn‘t feel any of the characters as authentic enough versions of themselves (likeable or not). 🤷🏻♀️ A low pick.
I recently moved to a new town and decided to join a book group. This was their pick for January. It‘s interesting but very graphic definitely not a book I would‘ve picked up on my own but sometimes that‘s the best part of a book club is reading a book out of your comfort zone #JanuaryBookClub#Yellowstone
Starting this one tonight, ahead of potential 8 inches of snow tomorrow ❄️ will be a pretty day to read by the window 📖📚🌇
so-soThis book has a ton of characters. Too many really. The concept was interesting. Short string vs long string to represent life, what would you do differently? What the characters do accurately represents how people would really act. It was a decent book.
pick3.25/5
+: the idea of the threads, and how knowing your life expectancy could change our society, how would people react, and the play of social media, all these elements were quite realistic and interesting, well executed. Gives a lot of food for thought.
-: some lacking in character's building, quite close to stereotopycal characters at times. Also some plot twists I saw coming a mile away.
Overall good read, especially for a debut novel.
pickA magnificent book and a remarkable human. If only stories like this were mandatory reading.
