I read the first chapter, describing Feyi's first sexual encounter since the death of her husband in an accident five years before. Didn't care enough to continue. DNF

5/5 ⭐️ I absolutely loved this book! While it is a romance, it's more about grief and the journey to love again after you lose someone. Also I love the friendship between Feyi and Joy! So glad I read this one! #queerbc

This book was not written for me, so of course I struggled with it. And I'm totally fine with that. I think for those who need this story, it'll give them a lot. I was a bit lost between the Nigerian ghosts and gods, but also somehow fascinated. It's a unique read for me, but I'm not sure if I would another book by this author.

PuddleJumper Great insight ❤️ 2d
Liz_M I loved the tagged book, told from multiple viewpoints depicting support and unintended consequences. 2d

Jari-chan @Liz_M Thank you for the tip. I might give it a try. 2d
Pogue When I read this it was confusing, but then I read her book Pet and it cleared up much of Freshwater. I wish I had read Pet first. 2d
Jari-chan @Pogue Oh, I wanted to read Pet, but it wasn't available 😕 2d

Lily's self-discovery as a Chinese-American lesbian in early 1950s San Francisco.

A map of SF would definitely have helped. Location obviously had an important effect on how Lily was feeling at various points in the story but the street names didn't really help me locate myself. But still an interesting and engaging story. I did spend quite some time unsure whether the title meant yesterday evening or the final appearance/performance.

lil1inblue I read Scatter of Light after reading Last Night at the Telegraph Club last year. It was a really good coming of age story.

Looking forward to any of March's options!
