    Short, beautiful read

    This was a very quick read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the writing to be beautiful and relatable. May easily become one of my favorites. If you are looking to read more by Irish authors, I highly recommend!

    I love that the concept of "code switching"-- and how it relates to survival-- appears to be a central tenant of James' story. How does our use of language influence the way we relate to people and our environment? How does it influence our perceptions of ourselves? Others' perceptions of us? Lots of good questions bubbling up...

    One of the best books I’ve read all year

    I’ve never read any Percival Everette before but I am so pleased I bumped up this book on my TBR list! Best storytelling and the most brilliant characters. My jaw dropped and I audibly gasped at that moment (no spoilers!) and the last line was perfect. I will be recommending this to everyone I know.

    Gabriel’s grand preparation for the dates give me the ick, but what does that say about me, eh???
