miscommunication tropes/slowburn can sometime frustrate the fuck out of me but i wasn’t that frustrated reading this. i actually liked the characters and felt like i understood why they were miscommunicating

i read this book for the first class i ever had in college. no being 5 years removed from that and having lived in the US for the better part of the last 5 years, having read it again made this book so much more powerful, especially considering the current political climate. Coates knocked it out of the fucking park. truly incredible.

i cried and i laughed and i got angry. this is exactly the book that i needed at this point in my life. god, what i would give to go on a road trip and make art about it. that's the fucking life.

did i understand all of it? definitely not. but i enjoyed reading it so much. the way it’s written is so fun and beautiful and it makes me jealous that i can’t even begin to write like that.

loved weitzman’s retelling of game 7 against the raptors, not just because i’m a raptors fan, but it just felt like there was energy. i could feels the suspense of the 4th quarter. also great to read about the role players that came out of the process-era sixers like RoCo, saric, and tj mcconnell!
