The raunchy sex jokes by a 20 something bisexual girl are not something I find funny. Not when it comprised most of the humour of the story, between the references to pop culture. Also, the sex scenes and the constant thirsting in scenes that don't needed to be... I'm asexual so this is out of my scope of experiences, but I think bisexual are pretty normal in their sex drive, I asume.
The general story what's pretty meh. Just like a couple of other books published in the West, which titles I'm not going to say, must have been born from the boom of translated reencarnation novels from the East world. However, in those cases, you expect the plot compliances and the dumb resolutions. Moreover, you get surprised when the resolutions are actually smart!
In this case... I expected a little more of creativity? Idk, maybe should have my hopes down. I won't read the sequel nor other works from the author.

My humour it's too dry for this book, but it was good to fill time.

The novella it's basically a story of how powerful women can scorch the earth. There's a bit of wlw, but nothing explicit. There was potential for something longer, but I enjoyed it how it was. It was an excellent palate cleanser between more complex stories.

The story reads like a folktale, soft and full of insinuations. I'm having a fun time, but I'll read the rest of the books really separated from each other.

Anyajulchen commented on Anyajulchen's review of Beloved
When you read other books by Toni Morrison, you know why they gave her the Nobel. However, when you read Beloved, you understand in a deep sense why she deserved it.
This book it's like a painting of shadows. The more you look, the more the image it's defined, the more you see details and discover the story. It's a dark, rich story full of pain and of beauty. Invites to reflection without asking more than attention, specially in the first part. However, it involves you once the story gets a grip.
Morrison uses the pain of slavery to explore the break between the before and after for a slaved, now free, woman and her descendants. It doesn't preach nor romantices, just tells direct what's happening, what they are feeling, what are the demons that horror ingrains in human beings after a trauma.
Nothing in this book it's left for interpretation. Every little word, line, metaphor, has a why and it's so wonderful.
