Ida Wilcox ，

What a messed up story。 Over all I like the story but I could have done without the profanity and the use of the N word。 Call me a prude but the story could have been a lot better without all of that。 Plus it seemed one sided。 Only the black characters were using profanity。 Like it was to show they didn't have any class。 Dont get me started with the narrative that black people dont like classical music and watch broadway shows。 SMH。 All the stereotypical situations were annoying as well。 The end What a messed up story。 Over all I like the story but I could have done without the profanity and the use of the N word。 Call me a prude but the story could have been a lot better without all of that。 Plus it seemed one sided。 Only the black characters were using profanity。 Like it was to show they didn't have any class。 Dont get me started with the narrative that black people dont like classical music and watch broadway shows。 SMH。 All the stereotypical situations were annoying as well。 The end of the book tried to come off like some cautionary tale but it just fell flat。 I guess over all I didnt like this book all that much。 It was meh。 。。。more

Goth Gone Grey ，

Breathtakingly beautifulStarting this book， it's a jumbled， nervous first date info dump。 This time when I was a kid， no， yesterday， years ago， today。 It's a lot to take in， but effectively sets up the world of the book for the steadier flow of the rest of the tale。 A love story？ Yes， but richer and deeper and so much more。 With observations on race， class， life choices， and a range of colors and sexual preferences， the world within veers between harsh ugliness to moments of breathtaking beauty， Breathtakingly beautifulStarting this book， it's a jumbled， nervous first date info dump。 This time when I was a kid， no， yesterday， years ago， today。 It's a lot to take in， but effectively sets up the world of the book for the steadier flow of the rest of the tale。 A love story？ Yes， but richer and deeper and so much more。 With observations on race， class， life choices， and a range of colors and sexual preferences， the world within veers between harsh ugliness to moments of breathtaking beauty， as shown here: "。。。he was concluding that it was okay。 Love did not need to be all or nothing; it was not a zero-sum game。 Love was a lot like one of those gorgeous symphonies Rachel had introduced him to。 There were gradations and fluctuations， crescendos， crests， fortissimo， and eventually， at some point， the inevitable diminuendo。 No movement lasted forever， but the really special ones reverberated through time and rested in your bloodstream as long as you breathed。"No character is a cardboard cutout， they're rich and true to themselves， for good or bad。 I was reading watching my time left in the bottom of the screen in a mild panic， because I didn't want the book to finish。 Highly recommend。 。。。more
