Review: Good read! - Loved this. Learnt a bunch of new words. I like the way she writes and I’m Jamaican 😂 I could imagine the places she spoke about in the book and it made things make sense in my head.
Review: Fakin' Jamaican (audio version) - I'm listening to the Audible version. Love the book/story, but the narrator is clearly not a Jamaican. The fake patois accent is jarring and terrible (and I say this as a Jamaican). There are no shortage of Jamaicans who could have narrated (as the author used for her other book, Patsy) this book to make the characters sound more authentic. The pronunciations and intonations are off. TL; DR: If you're Jamaican (or any Carib) and don't want to be upset by the horrible accents, buy the book, not the audio version.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Hot Sun but Ice Cold
*by M***E on January 13, 2017*

This story of a poor Jamaican family struggling to make ends meet begins beautifully but falls apart in this debut effort by Nicole Dennis-Benn. Dennis-Benn certainly has a talent for lush detail - you can almost see the ocean glistening and feel the dusty ground under your feet as you read - and creates very promising characters (larger than life single mother, Delores; older daughter Margot, ambitious but damaged; naive baby of the family, Thandi, burdened by her status as the golden child and desperate for love). These protagonists and their relationships don't hold up well as the plot unfolds, becoming brittle and flat as paper dolls. Despite a VERY busy narrative, there's no growth or change in these women; they end the same way as they began. The plot suffers from too much ambition. A variety of (unsuccessful) love stories fade in and out of focus. The family's back story, which is the foundation upon which the novel stands, begs for deeper attention; although there are plenty of plot points related to the deep dysfunction and bitterness that dominates the home, there's almost nothing in the way of successful resolutions, meaningful revelations or found insights within the characters themselves - they end as they began. And then there's the whole weather theme, with the hot sun and a record drought that pops up time and again; obviously, Dennis-Benn wanted the weather to be a key theme and indicator of the emotional tenor of the narrative (why else title it Here Comes the Sun?), but she doesn't consistently or successfully link this theme to the plot in any kind of meaningful way. My final issue with this book is its representation of the people themselves. Nearly everyone (save Maxi and Charles) is either craven and amoral or voiceless and victimized.; sometimes, they're all four. Sexual exploitation and violence dominates at every turn. Dennis-Benn drives home the point time and again that the people of the community she creates are both obsessed with and repulsed by sex and sexuality, especially when it comes to homosexuality, and that this obsession has poisoned the community and eventually brings about its destruction. In the end, Dennis-Benn offers us characters and communities that have no redeeming qualities. Even worse, her approach reinforces long held racial stereotypes of black women, black men, and white men. I had to keep returning to the author's bio, which says she was born and raised in Jamaica. She certainly has a number of axes to grind with her native culture and her fellow citizens. I was excited to read this book and found it an engaging read for the first half. But as the book comes to its culmination and then begins to wind down, Dennis-Benn stumbles badly: the denouement fails to hit the mark, far too many relationships and themes introduced throughout the text never return, and the explosive tensions at the heart of the story either remain unresolved or just slip away, which was most unsatisfying. Sadly disappointing.
