Heaven by Emerson Whitney
3.0
emotional reflective fast-paced

If this book intrigues you, I can't say I recommend the audio as I think there's just too much going on to grasp while having it read to you. I think it's one of those books you need to read the words on the page to appreciate their form, and it also delves into a lot of gender theory which is difficult to keep track of via audio. Heaven actually interacts a fair amount with C. Riley Snorton's Black on Both Sides, which I also read recently, so that probably explains why I didn't 'get' most of it - I need to stop trying to engage with these academic-adjacent texts on audio! 😅
