Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
4.5
challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

it left such an impact on me, especially giovanni's massive rant and jacque's plea to "love [giovanni]". as an italian, giovanni's begging and shouting and need for love was painfully close to me. giovanni deserves better <3
