Prefect Beach Day...Book in hand & feet in the sand....ahhhh... Happy Reading...😎🏖.... #instabook #swingtime #zadiesmith #bookishtag #bookishpost #bookislife

The whole book feels like an observation, of friendship, of connection, of race and sociopolitical status; the narrator hovering above these situations, giving us insight, but with a sense of uncertainty that doesn't allow the reader to feel grounded. I liked it, though it felt about 100pgs too long. I skimmed towards the end. What did you think? #swingtime #zadiesmith #mixed

I felt like some old diary she'd found in a drawer; a reminder of a more innocent and foolish time in her life (242). #swingtime #oldfriends #friendships #girls

I love how Zadie Smith addresses race in ways that fit so perfectly with the context and experience of her characters. as a #mixed reader, I find myself validated in this musing and conversations, especially the young perspective at the beginning of this book. #swingtime #zadiesmith
