It was still an ok read for me! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book club, surprising fave! *by C***. on September 15, 2024* This was my August book club book and I didn't think if like it, being mostly a fantasy/sci-fi girlie, but I loved it! I read about 30 pages one night, then picked it up the next day and didn't put it down til it was done. It's told in alternating POVs from probably 15ish different characters, but every storyline was fascinating in its own way. It tells the story of the mother in a way that makes it almost like a mystery-- you know how her story ends, and how it starts, but how it gets from point A to point B is a WILD ride. I never had any clue where the story was going to take me next. The book explores themes of the trials and tribulations of family, loyalty and duty to your loved ones, empathy and forgiveness for others' mistakes, and the parts of our culture and our own experiences that forms identity. I cried multiple times, but in a cathartic way. Immediately upon finishing, I walked out and handed it to my partner so she could read it too and I'd have someone to bask in it with. Not everyone in book club loved it as much as I did, but (how to I say this politely...) as middle aged, upper middle class women of NOT color in a conservative neighborhood, they might not have been the target audience. I think it hit a lot harder for me as a young, queer Title I teacher whose mother grew up sleeping on the floor in front of a wood stove on a tobacco farm. You'll either get the story this book is trying to tell, or you won't. This book does contain mentions of rape, racism, grief, queer characters who experience homophobia, and generally just a lot of emotional turmoil of characters who have led hard lives, so readers be advised. ## Frequently Bought Together - Black Cake: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel - Before I Let Go - The Vanishing Half: A GMA Book Club Pick (A Novel) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/493726852-black-cake-a-read-with-jenna-pick-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/493726852-black-cake-a-read-with-jenna-pick-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
