This was such a fun adventure! I was drawn to this book for the Black Girl Magic and was pleasantly surprised when that included botany. The world building in this book was amazing. I could easily see this as a movie.

I loved this interpretation of ATR. This book is a beautiful representation of Black American history. I can see why it has been raved about. This book was not made for the majority.. I say this is definitely one that you need to read/listen to for yourself and come to your own decision

I always need a good reminder on why I love cozy mysteries and this was it! The balance of culture, food and mystery was perfection and great job to Olivia Matthews for capturing the Caribbean essence. Bonus points for having the currants roll recipe at the end! I wish there was more humor involved. Otherwise, great story! I'm excited to see where this series goes

Honestly.. how the hell am I supposed to move on from here?! I don’t want to let Luca go

Neil is definitely my fave McClain
