…I’m sorry. That was cheesy. Now for the real intro: Pet was not something I was expecting to enjoy. I don’t even know where I found out about this gem of a book. I wish I did, if I’m being honest, but after all, it’s not the beginning of the journey that matters, it’s the end result. And Pet delivered.

Wow. Just… wow. We Deserve Monuments is a debut novel. But you wouldn’t be able to tell. It’s just that well written. A beautiful, heart-wrenching coming of age story, Jas Hammonds wove a tale of generational trauma, love, racism, homophobia, and what really matters. This was recommended to me by Goodreads because I read Pet (by Akwaeke Emezi), and I at first marked it as TBR because of the cover. Then, I read the premise. It was at this moment that it became an instant read for me. I was not disappointed.
