I enjoyed Libertie’s character. She is independent and extremely brave to embark upon the life she does when she has so many expectations weighing on her. Greenidge crafted a character that was likable--I was rooting for Libertie the entire time--while still being hasty and capable of making mistakes, like all humans are. Libertie has a humanness about her that really propels the novel forward. 

I also enjoyed the letters that are strategically placed throughout the novel. Readers learn more about the characters and their relationships through the letters than the dialogue and interactions themselves. I thought Greenidge did a brilliant job with these letters, their placement and their content. 

The only aspect of Greenidge’s newest novel that I disliked was the fact that some storylines felt like loosends that needed to be tied up. I felt I never truly got their conclusion, even if Greenidge tried her best to do so.
