Just finished this one up during lunch today. It was interesting. I do think there were some missed opportunities but I thought the story was unique

TheDaysGoBy Sounds like my kind of book! 2y
Reecaspieces @TheDaysGoBy I found it very unique and creative. 2y
TheDaysGoBy @Reecaspieces I love books about dreams/dreaming because I dream quite vividly and parts of the plot remind me of the story I‘ve been working on that has kinda fallen to the wayside lately. So maybe this will help renew my energy for it too 😂 2y
Reecaspieces @TheDaysGoBy oh….intriguing! Let me know! 2y

I have been really enjoying the "brain candy" of these Christmas novellas this year.

Um… I have mixed feelings about this, and I wish this wasn‘t the first Dorothea Benton Frank novel I picked to read. On one hand, it‘s a book about returning to the values of an old-fashioned Christmas. On the other hand, it‘s a story of a Black maid coming back from the great beyond (80 years after her death) because the white,super Southern, rich, entitled family she worked for in... Cont below

MidnightBookGirl in life has become a train wreck. They are all terrible people. It‘s also very sexist- the women are cheated on and put down by their awful husbands who get a pass because… they have penises? And Southern women have to have a husband and should be grateful to have them because maybe they aren‘t gorgeous? And why would Pearl return to earth to fix this shit? It‘s cringe worthy. The beginning is a 93 year old woman‘s reminisces Co 3y
MidnightBookGirl of past Christmases, which wasn‘t terrible, but returning to her current Christmas is painful. It was a quick read though, but the fact that Pearl is still having to serve this shitty family in death is depressing as hell. 3y
Susanita Cringe worthy is a good description. 3y
