Kinsley-ñera!!! My favorite girl, holding my favorite book on our favorite day. My baby’s 15th birthday 🥳!! I’ll always remember the 21st night of September 💞How did my baby grow up so fast? I still see her as that 4 lb 7 oz newborn with the 3 loud cries. What better way to celebrate on booksta than with this absolutely lovely book?!
Why this is theee most wonderful book ever…
I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK, especially the unforgettable characters: Hubert Byrd, Ashley, Jan, Gus, Joyce. The past and the present sections all captured my full, undivided attention and awe. It was a remarkable story of seeing the good in people, allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable, and just simply being there for someone.
AGAPE LOVE! ❤️ I aspire to be like Ashley and try to see the good in humanity, remain optimistic and not let the bad outweigh the good. I loved how she cared for Hubert. I loved Hubert’s story as a Jamaican immigrant in London and his unwavering love for Joyce that endured. I loved the message of looking beyond someone’s color, age, status and seeing them for who they truly are.
I cried so many times, this story pulled at my heartstrings. My heart burst with emotion, I cried in sadness, I cried from the acts of kindness and the compassion the characters showed, I cried because the loneliness Hubert and others’ felt was so palpable and relatable.
This past year and half has been one of the loneliest years of my life, even though I was surrounded by the people I love most. I think of all the Huberts and Jans in the world who were alone and removed from family/friends for fear that simply being in someone’s presence could end their life. My heart 😭
This book was simply incredible and has sealed the spot for my favorite book of the year. The narration was excellent! I want more feel good, uplifting stories just like this. Bravo! 👏🏾
I saw so many people posting about it and hadn’t planned to read it initially, but then I said to myself, let me see what this book is all about. I’m selective in how I use my audible credits, but this was a solid and smart buy!
It’s books like this that make me so grateful to be apart of this book community where I can come across a gem that I may have never seen before.
