It’s Nate and the romance. I can’t root for this romance no matter how much I love Vivica’s character.. Nate is problematic. I’m the sex scenes are steamy yay! But Vivica deserved someone better than Nate. He’s rude, misgnisitc, and if he harps on her “virginal” tendancies one more time. I enjoyed the historical components, Vivica being a black female doctor!! But if the story was mail it about her without the romance with Nate then I’d definitely continue.
I read Indigo as my first Beverly Jenkins book and expected the male character to be like the male love interest from the start.

Such a bittersweet feeling upon completing this trilogy. I completed it still quite not understanding the world and inner workings. A lot of questions left unanswered. < I don’t blame Nassun for her choices and understand why she was making them >. My heart aches for them all but hope that it works out in the end. <Also wish I could see a snippet of Essun and Alabaster’s reunion as well as what her and Hoa end of doing>
I will definitely reread this trilogy in a few years. It will be interesting to read this with a whole new perspective

This book acts as a self help/ memoir. It is a relief to see a published book about workplace racial trauma that so many of us as black women have and will experience. I’ve also had similar experiences and it felt good to see this published and validated. I’ve met other black women who have had the same experiences and have seen how much it has impacted their mental AND physical health.
I would definitely recommend this book for white accomplices and allies who want to better understand the perspective and experiences of black women in the workplace and to better show up for them. I like that she acknowledges that this is her experience alone. However, the fact that she makes 6 figures and works in corporate is and will be unrelatable to the many of women who don’t make nearly the same.
I don’t particular find self help books…helpful, and this was no different mostly. But it can be a good guide.
