Golden Child

Decent Debut Novel (10/23/2018)
I should've loved this book. The plot is solid, the characters are well developed, the setting is beautifully described by an author who clearly loves Trinidad, & the message is important. However, the story moves too slowly, is a bit predictable, and Ms. Adam steps too …more

Wolas Excels at Character Development (5/22/2018)

Lovely but lacking (2/9/2016)
This book was a challenge for me. Not in the sense that it was difficult to read. Not in the sense that it was something I had to push through. More in the fact that I wanted to truly love it, but couldn't. Nor did I dislike it! It's sort of infuriatingly in between.
