LIKE HAPPINESS was gripping from the beginning and I couldn't bear to put it down. I loved the author's choice of a dual narrative for this coming-of-age tale which alternates between present day and Tatum's letter to M. Reading her story of power dynamics and toxic relationship experience was gut-wrenching. Well-developed and with searing writing, LIKE HAPPINESS provided a nuanced exploration of gender, identity, race, power, and memory that made for an unforgettable read.
