“Do you have any idea how many Dessi Blues there are? Black artists who shaped our culture, made our music, but whose contributions have gone unacknowledge? Their stories just slipped through the cracks. Neevah is a stand-in actress who happens to be discovered during one of her fill-in performances and chosen to portray a strong Black woman, Desi, whose story isn’t widely known.
Both women have a story that deserves to be told. The strength of these two women, Neevah & Dessi, is the heartbeat running throughout the pages. I L♥VED Reel! Reel has two strong women stories in it - one who is from now and one is from the past. Their narration deserved all the accolades. Jakobi and Eboni really elevates the story with their performances.
The delicate way the story handles that tells you she has done her research into the subject matter and I stan her got all that she did to educate me about it. Then on top of all that she weaved in the critical illness subplot that blows everything out of the water. if you are looking for scorching love scenes she has you covered. She writes with such conviction and depth of knowledge that informs the listener as well as tells an epic love story. I was googling the back story as I was listening. She brought so much knowledge to the subject matter that I feel like I am getting a masterclass in the black renaissance of the twenties. It’s a beyond any romance I have ever listen to. It’s stunning in its scope and the multiple subplots that she weaved. I know it’s going to be ambitious but this goes beyond everything I thought I could expect from Kennedy. I know I am not going to do this book justice with my review because I am not eloquent like that but man oh man what a book. Stunning in scope and beautifully written
