Hello and happy Sunday. I’m already (finally) on vacation, which means that you can expect more reviews to come throughout the month of July. I am excited that my vacation started with a great read, and one I totally recommend. I’m referring to Let Me Liberate You by Andie Davis. I’d like to thank Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I must admit that I almost DNF’ed this book right when I started reading. I’m glad that I kept on because this was an amazing read, and I can certainly say that this novel is unlike any other I’ve read. It is set in Barbados and it is an exploration of class and the living conditions of the working class. There is also commentary in terms of colorism, which I think is an issue that is not talked about as much or that is overshadowed by conversations on racism and put in the same category. I think this was a brilliant piece of contemporary fiction and I’m sure I’ll keep hearing about it in the future.
