Gods I'm exhausted, why add a second female POV and then make her only obsess with a guy?? Sexism just permeates everything here. I get what he's doing with this, but it's very unpleasant to read. However, sunk cost fallacy and curiosity will take me to the finish line.

So far while reading I've lightly researched: Jamaican Patois swear words, the PNP, the presence of Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian people in Jamaica and also some bits about Bob Marley's lyrics!

I will say I'm okay with the writing (liking it), what I do have a problem with is that all the POV characters are sexist af and one woman POV is a lady waiting in front of the house of a guy she fucked and ruminating on that 🥲 also, a lot of the men use the insult 'pussy hole'. My emotional investment is not a lot at this point.

Oh yeah

Yess, listening to this is the better choice for me, cause the Jamaican English would probably be much harder to eyeball for my brain 🥲
