I was a fan of I’m a Fan by Sheena Patel.
Synopsis
Our unnamed narrator is infatuated with the man she wants to be with who is sleeping with the woman she is obsessed with.
Review of I’m a Fan
This novel is short with brief chapters and humorous titles like “The math ain’t mathing” and “When you miss your man that’s not your man but can’t trip cos he ain’t your man, but he is your man.” The timeline is not completely linear. It jumps around a bit.
It covers an array of themes but manages to integrate them well. It examines white feminism, white privilege, generational wealth, performative activism, and a lot more.
The woman who the narrator is obsessed with is the archetypal white feminist with all the accompanying privilege, including her exclusive lifestyle shared on social media, her luxury business, culturally appropriated decor and organic and locally sourced food.
I highly recommend this novel. I will definitely read whatever this author publishes next.
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Expected Publication: 22 August 2023
