The audiobook really drew this together for me. I loved loved loved it. I went into it blind; I didn't know what it was about exactly or that there were two MCs. McIvor creates two distinct narratives that blend in a beautiful way. The plot is a lot; it is funny; it is harsh; it is meaningful. I like Obadiah. Yes, he is abrasive at times but that's just the shell.

One thing I realize time and time again reading Caribbean literature is how similar we are. You could have switched the names of the government officials and we'd be in The Bahamas with how similar the politricks are, and how corruption works.

The ending had me wanting to clap and cheer. McIvor is a storyteller. Each scene she took us on throughout the book was very clear in my mind. You can really experience each part of Trinidad she is describing.
