***Reflections of Pleasantview by Celeste Mohammed***
Allyuh need to go read this book! Not only because it full a bacchanal and ting but because Celeste Mohammed write she ass off in dis short story collection!
The short stories being interconnected gives us a full, panoramic view of Pleasantview: from the beautiful azure surface to the deep, dark underbelly of paradise. Normally, for short stories, we get a snippet of characters and their environment, but somehow Celeste manages to do full on character development and an amazing world building. I feel like I was literally inside of Pleasantview and only now on a bus going back home and still thinking bout all what went on during my visit.
There’s so much that goes on and here are some content warnings:
Violence
Rape
Domestic abuse
Grief
Death
Miscarriage
Sex trafficking
Abandonment
This is all weaved with the sweetest writing. Sweeter than doubles with nuff chutney.
