me like yuh temper man, yuh different, yuh nuh regular a who did tell yuh say me love man weh press trigga?this part of the song played over and over in my head when i was reading this, it represents chichi and favio so much! TC was a captivating and hysterical read. the book is set in jamaica (authentically representing the culture!!!)…ugh, it’s definitely 1 of my top 5’s of the year!

chayanne was so funny, intentionally and unintentionally. obviously the doll nufi deh yaso! the circus or standup needs her. she’s a sunshine character done right, when i started reading her pov i didn’t want to stop. i admired the buoyant attitude she retained regardless of any situation that she was put in. favio was actually something else, i like him but at the same time a part of me can’t stand him his italian tongue had me in a headlock and then on top of that he encouraged chichi to learn??? his grumpiness was comical and cute but sometimes scary. one of the core moments for me was him fine dining chichi. i did the most when i read that scene

a wholesome friend group is one of my weaknesses and this one brought me to my knees. chezzy, yolo and chichi reminded me how lovely girl friendships can be and no me can’t forget dirt boss, trav. he was my favorite!

the writing was eloquent and originated some relatable moments/descriptions. the characters were complex and flawed which added to the enjoyability of the book. i kikikkied and kaakaed my way through some chapters…every twist had me gasping, bursting my brain and rotting from anxiety. TRUST i had the time of my life reading though…and the title drop was just yum
