SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT!! Just returned yesterday from Cancun (a much needed vacation) and had a good week of reading. As I catch up on my reviews they will all be here in THE SPOTLIGHT! But today the light is on Someday, Maybe. In keeping with my core principle of honesty, I must say, this was a tough read for me. Emotionally. Mentally. Spiritually. Was difficult to find any joy, well the writing contained some beautiful sentences and paragraphs but the content, whoa. I wrote ✍🏾 Overwhelming. To say this is a grief filled novel is the ultimate understatement. The ability of this author to immerse the reader in grief over 350 pages is astonishing. I mean, whew. It just never stopped. It was unrelenting, to the point that you feel like you are experiencing grief along with the character. As a trigger warning, anyone who has dealt with the suicide of a loved one may want to steer clear. The four stars are for the beautiful paragraphs that offer temporary respite from the trauma that inherits page after page after page. At some point, I was begging for the end, the only relief coming when I knew I was near the finish line. A tough read. #ownvoicesreviews #bookstagram #pushingbooksainteasy #bookpusher #somedaymaybe #blackbooksmatter #blackbookstagram #bookreview #blackbibliophile #onyinwabineli #readmorebooks #readingismylife #booksaremylife #bookblogger #goodblackreads #makereadinglitagain #sundayspotlight #readreadread (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjfktaFrf6V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT!! Let’s go! I just returned yesterday from Cancun (A much needed vacation, second slide) but back in time to keep the light shining on books that may interest you.
