Jessie Reyez is one of a kind. The words that escape her are never anything less than pure authenticity and raw emotion. Her ability to make you not only listen but feel, is completely unmatched. Her command of an audience with her pen is a gift and I’m really grateful to be on the receiving end of her magic. Whether you are familiar with her through music or just stumbling across this audio, it is not coincidence. I recommend diving into this title, paperback or audiobook alike, you will not be disappointed.
