Status Updates From Brown Girl in the Ring

I was not expecting this to get so supernatural, but I'm diggin' it.

Ugh, the characters are so goooooood. I hate that everything is so bleak for them and I wish I could just hug Baby and Tijean :(

This is fascinating!!

so this is all nice and good and whatever but what was that whole deal w getting the heart to the politician— like what was the point of that other than gros-jeanne dying???

Aah profanity!!

Slow to bring me along, but I'm all in now...

Listening to audiobook.

Just finished chapter 12, that was so intense and breathtaking and incredible! Wow!

This is extremely good, well written and interesting, but you should definitely not be sensitive to body horror.

I’m highly intrigued by this!

I’m already intrigued!

:(

A Afro-Caribbean-Canadian, dystopic urban fantasy? There's a lot of moving parts here!

I'm liking it. She has such a richness in her writing that I can feel even going back to earlier work.

Stopping this read. It has nothing interesting to me.

I’m enjoying the blending of an imagined future society and Caribbean culture/religion. I’m listening to the audiobook, and the Caribbean accents and references bring me right back to my time in the Peace Corps down there.

NOW it's getting interesting...

There was one REALLY bad transphobic bit....like yikes. Otherwise, I need Ti-Jeanne to stay TF away from Tony.

everybody and demons from hell is tryna take MC's baby and the baby's like "man I wish y'all can take this mitten off so I can suck my fist, go away"

Chapter 5

Bizarre!?!

The heaviness of her loss in her heart hadn't eased, but there was room there for humour, too.
