Maybe it’s because I’ve been spoiled with books by authors who aren’t white men, but god was this boring. Like Graham Greene and Hemingway had a baby, but in the worst way possible. Not to mention calling the only black person to make an appearance a Negro. Goodbye and good riddance!

DID NOT FINISH

I really loved the one story I could make it through, but the state of the world makes it nearly impossible to focus. I'll come back to this eventually.

This is not a happy book but I still enjoyed it, even in the midst of a real-life pandemic.

While I adored the voice, I was bogged down by the pacing.
