Sarah has skillfully captured what it’s like to be struggling with part of yourself. The books is full of warmth and humour, and also moments that made me stop and take a breath. Over a series of beautifully crafted interspersing short chapters, we are immersed in Holly’s attempts to deal with loss and loneliness. This novel follows the story of Holly who has moved to Brighton to get away. I’m also enjoying Let Me Be Like Water, by S.K. I’m looking forward to what Olumide writes next. The book is a moving portrayal of young black queer London life. Set against the backdrop of racial tensions in London and the riots triggered by the murder of Mark Duggan in 2011, we follow the friendship, which is tested to the limit when Karl goes to Nigeria to meet his father for the first time, while Abu finds himself in love and in the midst of the riots. The novel tells the story of an amazing friendship between Karl and Abu who are 17 and live near Kings Cross. I’ve really enjoyed reading When We Speak of Nothing by Olumide Popoola.
