“There is no graceful way to carry hatred.”
“Watching you hold your hatred for such a long time I wonder: isn’t it slippery? Might you not somebody drop it on yourself”
“ I know my duty to life, stop wars especially those I cause within myself.”

Sunny continues to surprise me and makes me want to continue reading this book. Where is book 3?

Do you ever think about the link/ commonalities between realtors and sex workers? Statistics surrounding suicide bombers? or Global warming and the things we can do help our planet? Or wonder if buying locally will reduce methane emissions into the atmosphere?

If your answer is YES! Read this book! Just like the book's predecessor Freakonomics! I found this to be very informative.

To Be Fair, I tend to love Agatha Christie while still having some issues with her one of her books that were my favorite book until I realized the pass names for it. I also want to re-read the book to see if there were blatant racism and bigotry throughout the book that I didn't see in my first read.

This book has a low rating because I just did not like it. I only liked the suspense part in the last 40 pages or so. I must say that I was not prepared for who killed Lord Edgware but in today's world....in a marriage Police Officers always go to their (blank) to rule them out as a being suspects in the murder.

I kept reading this and thought so many things. I often thought "okay who did it damn it." This Agatha Christie novel was gave me a peek into a window of how the world thought about body image in this time period....

This book really made you change your mind towards the end and makes you think "well that was too easy" only to find out that there is more to the story.

I wish I knew what I just read but I have no idea and I just wanted the book to end.

I am adore Angie’s novels and how relatable her characters are to myself and black communities around the United States. The way Angie depicts Jay (Bri’s mom) uncanny ability to know what she said under her breathe and the meaning of the side eye gave me so much life. It even caused me to think about the things I went through growing up as a black girl raised by a black woman who took no nonsense.

However, Bri poverty circumstances caused her to do and say things that caused her to jeopardize the relationship and safety of her family and friends. Bri was going through puberty and didn’t understand how the world works. I appreciate how patient and honest her mother (Jay) was with her. She struggled with Bri and tried to encourage Bri to be a kid but Bri wanted to fix things! Which is very relatable!

Also Bri and I have the same name and I felt like her mama was yelling and talking directly to me!

This is 3 stars because it was pretty predictable in my opinion but I love Angie and how she constantly write literature pertaining to black culture.
