Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson
4.75
dark emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

This is so beautifully written, I genuinely am in awe.

It is slightly difficult to explain what this story is about - this is the story of two people, black and living in London. 

This both is and isn't a love story, but i feel this has a lot to say about the black experience and does it so well. I found some of the writing difficult at points, but so much of it was so beautiful it flowed off the page, almost like poetry. I bet listening to the audiobook would be a great experience.

Would recommend this one for sure!
