Welcome to Litsy!

If her debut Queenie was a bang for me, this was more a whimper. It was a confusing dramedy, and sometimes I wasn‘t sure when to laugh, but I did enjoy the connection among the siblings. Light pick.

Cyril had 5 children with 4 women. They don‘t know each other well, but when middle sib Dimple gets into a jam with an abusive boyfriend, she turns to oldest sib Nikisha, who brings all the others onboard to formulate a plan. #bookspin

3.5⭐️/5⭐️

"The las' time mi see yuh, yuh was big as a house,' Delores
said.

Dimple didn't know what to say to that. What was there to say? Yes? Thank you? I've slimmed down since then, maybe, and hopefully to your preference? What kind of house do you speak of? Semi-detached or a small cottage?

....why are all of these different Black men of all shades and sizes coming in and out of your house - and before you say anything, I don't mean it like that, Dimple. You know I voted your mum's front garden "best lawn" last summer.

I was super excited for this #ARC but somehow it didn‘t really live up to my expectations. The writing, plot and execution was disappointing especially since the premise sounded great. 5 siblings from 4 different women meet in adulthood under a strange circumstance & forge a complicated bond. Had some good moments but overall more of a so-so ( light pick) 😞

#UpNext #ARC #SuperExcited 🧡💜💛💚💙From the author of Queenie. Thanks to my friends @SimonSchuster @simonbooks #BookClubFavorites -

#arc from Simon & Schuster. This book is by the author of Queenie. I can't wait to start it! I haven't read Queenie, have you?

I adored Queenie so was overjoyed to get this one! Very funny but poignant story about Cyril and his 5 children by 4 different women. They meet once and then are “called together” when Dimple gets herself in trouble with a boyfriend and needs family support. Witty and relevant, this novel is sure to please!

The prettiest #bookmail !!!! How gorgeous are these sprayed edges! 😍💕

You know those stories where someone makes a bad decision, then everything that follows just gets worse and worse, with more bad (and sometimes here, implausible) decisions? I just can‘t cope with those stories. I never get the reason for the escalating bad decisions and the control freak in me is just wanting to sort it all out. I was hoping for a family saga with this one, but instead just got stressed!

I didn‘t even know she had a new book but couldn‘t resist these edges! 😍

Ooh! That moment when an ARC that you didn't know you won shows up in the mail 👏🏼

By author of the bestselling novel Queenie a really wonderful novel People Person is her new novel.Looking forward to reading it.
