James by Percival Everett was a huge let down 🫩 | book review 📚

I will always be the first to admit that I am wrong or I missed the point, and I truly think I am a bit of the problem when it comes to this book. While the themes shone, the execution hindered my reading experience. I'm by no means saying this book is bad or that those who love it are wrong for doing so--but for me, it just missed the mark.
