Rainy Thursdayโ€™s in NYC call for Matcha and a good book. After reading and loving ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐’๐—ผ๐ง๐ ๐›๐—ผ๐—ผ๐ค ๐—ผ๐Ÿ ๐๐ž๐ง๐ง๐ฒ ๐‹๐š๐—บ๐ž๐ง๐ญ, I was looking for a read with a similar vibe. ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐…๐ข๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‘๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐š๐ฅ ๐—ผ๐Ÿ ๐Ž๐ฉ๐š๐ฅ & ๐๐ž๐ฏ like my previous read also takes place during the 70โ€™s and follows the story of an interracial singing duo. We follow black songstress Opal whose Afro-Punk style is setting her apart from those already on the scene. She meets Charles Neville, a British singer/songwriter who offers to make rock music with her and she accepts. When a rival band that is signed to her label waves the confederate flag at a promotional concert & Opal boldly protests...it sets off a chain of violence changing their lives indefinitely. Decades later we meet journalist Sunny Shelton who is offered the opportunity to interview her music idols. As she digs deeper, things start to unravel and a nasty allegation threatens to take it all apart. Many have made comparisons to that of Taylor Jenkins Reid ๐ƒ๐š๐ข๐ฌ๐ฒ ๐‰๐—ผ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐’๐ข๐ฑ because itโ€™s also written in oral history format. However, Opal definitely sets itself apart in its vibe and voice very much like the MC. The only thing Iโ€™m kinda bummed about is that the audiobook wonโ€™t be out till March 30th & itโ€™s a FULL CAST! But that just means a re-read is in order๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ
