Book Review: People Person by Candice Carty Williams

 



About

Dimple Pennington knew of her half siblings, but she didn't really know them. Five people who don't have anything in common except for faint memories of being driven through Brixton in their dad's gold jeep, and some pretty complex abandonment issues. Dimple has bigger things to think about. She's thirty, and her life isn't really going anywhere. An aspiring lifestyle influencer with a terrible and wayward boyfriend, Dimple's life has shrunk to the size of a phone screen. And despite a small but loyal following, she's never felt more alone in her life. That is, until a dramatic event brings her half siblings Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie and Prynce crashing back into her life. And when they're all forced to reconnect with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things get even more complicated.


My Thoughts 

This book was on my TBR since it came out. After reading Queenie I was really excited for this release. Not sure why I took so long to get around to reading it, but I am glad that I did.

In People Person we meet Cyril, and his five kids by four different mothers. Cyril was your typical Caribbean charmer who broke many hearts in his days. In all of that his children grew up living very apart until a peculiar tragedy brings them all together, showing the reader that blood is thicker than water.

In the book though we follow Dimple (one of the daughters), it is Dimple's really messed up lifestyle which brings these siblings together. What was unique was that each sibling had such a distinct personality.

Very interesting story with even more interesting characters. If you haven't read this one, try it.
