I bet you’re wondering if it’s good or if it’s spicy. Speaking of wonderful things happening, I was given the beautiful gift of being one of the first readers of Amy Lea’s new book Exes and O’s before its official release on January 10, 2023. Hi fellow readers! Don’t you just love it when things are aligning in your life?

Her family has uprooted itself from the Boston. Libertie didn’t know what freedom was, but she knew she deserved more than what was given her. Charlotte, the protagonist of Kaitlyn Greenidge’s witty and provocative debut novel, is a 14-year-old girl who’s facing a host of culture shocks. The beauty of this novel is in that realization. She’s someone I saw myself in, and like most historical novels written about Black women, thanked God I would never be. When mourning the loss of another character, Libertie adjusts her perspective: “Care, I decided, was monstrous.” Although she never shares that realization with another character, I doubt a single reader would disagree.Īt times, I could predict how she would react because I felt I knew her so well. She keeps so much of the way she thinks hidden from other characters (for a myriad of reasons), that it’s an intimate joy to get a glimpse into her logical, sympathetic mind. The words are plain and then she asks, “Was freedom worth it if you still ached like that? If you were still bound to this earth by desire?” I had to pause, reading once, twice again, before pouring back into the book.īecause the book is written in the first person, readers are allowed to get intimate with Libertie’s thoughts. Libertie’s most intimate moments happen when she’s alone, lost in thought. ![]() “Libertie’' is an easy page turner - its simple prose makes the plot digestible and the lyrical sentences sing louder. ![]() ![]() ![]() “When I make horror,” Enríquez said in a recent interview, “I try to make it Latin American. While much of horror’s subject matter is universal – a fear of spiders, or being pursued, or, of course, death – it’s often the culturally specific elements that make it memorable: think of the Middle English folk song at the climax of The Wicker Man, or the American high school prom as the venue for revenge in Stephen King’s Carrie. If you want to wince, flinch, and momentarily panic when you switch on a light, this is a book for you. It isn’t quite as strong as the other, but it does contain a handful of brilliantly unsettling stories. This is the second collection of hers to be translated into English by Megan McDowell, following 2017’s Things We Lost in the Fire, but in fact The Dangers of Smoking in Bed is the older of the two, having first appeared in Argentina in 2009. ![]() Enríquez, who is from Buenos Aires and sets most of her stories there, operates on the boggy ground between recognisable daily life and the dark-running streams of fear, rational and irrational, we all have inside us. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And as Sam learns to love and trust Alex and herself, she learns once again how quickly trust can be broken.
