One of the hardest books I ever read. Cut through to my own pain in a way that I mostly.manage to shield. Very powerful.

The narration is beautiful, there's a cadence to the prose that I am unused to in the English language but could feel. 5 stars.

Very well written. Still struggling with the reading due to their intimate descriptions of sexual assault. It's a hard book, good but hard.

Even though it doesn't portray itself as such, it felt autobiographical (also compared to the author descriptionat the end of the book there are a lof of commonalities).

I appreciate a book that highlights sickle cell. I have a friend who has it who disn't talk about kt for the first decade and a half I knew her and am pleased to see people not oy breaking this taboo but also really showing how this illness impacts people's romantic lives.

I would have appreciated different characters having more depth, I think I missed that in this book.

Was at my local Black-owned bookstore and picked this up. Very unusual for me to read a romance novel but I'm looking forward to switching my habits up a little.

Good book. I found the first two chapters difficult because I don't have a background in the type of philosophy that is being built onnin these chapters, but from weighing lives onward the book is great and showed me several new perspectives.
