Wow😍👏👏👏😍

I'm not even going to dillydally, I loved this novel A LOT! Science has proven that the more fiction you read, the more open-minded and empathetic you'll be. Guys, this is a fiction novel that will push you to question things that you've heard of or known about since you were a child. The story follows the title character on a journey that starts in Jamaica where Patsy is overwhelmed by her need for something more. All she wants is to find her place in the world and she does this by pursuing the American Dream in New York, but leaves without her five-year-old daughter. The question "what kind of woman leaves her child behind to pursue her own needs" will follow you as you read this. It's almost feels disrespectful to call this novel a coming of age story but it kind of is. I mean, the character development in this book is just phenomenal. Every character you meet is well rounded and useful to the plot. EVERY! Also of note, Nicole has mastered the art of flashbacks. I loved how effortlessly it was used to provide backstory. Patsy is funny, sad, entertaining, introspective and highly emotional. I recommended this novel for people who enjoy good storytelling. My goodness! Patsy is such a great story.
