JOMP BPC - Feb 27th - Freebie

I realised today after buying A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar that I'm developing quite the collection of YA novels set on the Titanic 👀 Fateful by Claudia Gray is the only one I've read so far -- it was a wonderful paranormal historical drama. I'll have to get to A Million to One and Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee soon

The Downstairs Girl book review

Slightly spoiler-y review of The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee

Summary (pulled from goodreads) :

From the founding member of We Need Diverse Books comes a powerful novel about identity, betrayal, and the meaning of family.

By day, seventeen-year-old Jo Kuan works as a lady's maid for the cruel daughter of one of the wealthiest men in Atlanta. But by night, Jo moonlights as the pseudonymous author of a newspaper advice column for the genteel Southern lady, "Dear Miss Sweetie." When her column becomes wildly popular, she uses the power of the pen to address some of society's ills, but she's not prepared for the backlash that follows when her column challenges fixed ideas about race and gender. While her opponents clamor to uncover the secret identity of Miss Sweetie, a mysterious letter sets Jo off on a search for her own past and the parents who abandoned her as a baby. But when her efforts put her in the crosshairs of Atlanta's most notorious criminal, Jo must decide whether she, a girl used to living in the shadows, is ready to step into the light. With prose that is witty, insightful, and at times heartbreaking, Stacey Lee masterfully crafts an extraordinary social drama set in the New South.

Review:

The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee is a humorous, witty, and heart-wrenching novel. The writing is delightful and fun to read, with imaginative metaphors and imagery. Some of the philosophy and metaphors remind me of some Chinese novels I’ve read in the past. The characters are real and complex that brings forth complicated feelings for them.

We follow Jo, who is smart, witty, and strong. She is constantly being dealt hardship, but manages to get through it. It’s not that she’s perfect but rather that she learns from the people around her. When faced with despair, she thinks of her parental figure Old Gin and what he would do; when she needs to get the upper hand, she think about her cunning ex-boss Mrs. English. She’s a very satisfying character to have as our point of view.

There are many other characters we meet, each with their own good and bad. We are given a slight glimpse of them and as the story progresses, as Jo learns more and sees more, we learn more about those characters as well. This helps introduce characters and develop them for us in the sense that we get to understand more about them; the characters themselves (other than a select few like Jo and Caroline) don’t really change and I don’t think that was the point either.

The story is set during the Gilded Age. We are shown the elite having the time of their lives and more importantly we are shown how the marginalized suffer. The characters of colour are treated terribly and the slurs are thrown around so casually that it enrages you. Lee writes the racism realistically which makes the reader feel every emotion the characters are feeling. The fury, the helplessness, the humiliation, it’s so vivid I genuinely teared up multiple times. I was terrified for the safety of some of the characters multiple times. 

The relationships between the characters were written very well. I loved the relationship between Caroline and Jo, seeing it develop and change. I loved the relationship between the Bells and Jo and I was so happy she finally got the family she wanted. The friendship between Jo, Robby, and Neomi was my absolute favourite. The romance was very sweet and I was rooting for Jo and Nathan to get together but there was the unease of “how can they get together? Is it possible?” It’s depressing but realistic how race was woven into everything. Every moment of happiness was accompanied with racism, it was inevitable and inescapable. 

The mystery of the novel was something that I pretty much guessed early on but that was because the author did an excellent job of writing those hints. It was enough to clue you in and build up the anxiety and heartbreak you would feel by the time Jo figures everything out. There was one twist I did not see coming but everything else was set up for the reader to figure out before Jo. I think it worked well because Lee didn’t want everything to be a twist, or a shock factor. Although shock factors work great at evoking emotion, a story where the reader has the knowledge and the character doesn’t, builds emotions and suspense, waiting for the moment the character figures everything out.

There are moments of tension and moments where Jo is doing some dangerous things that made me anxious and scared for her. Whenever she was dealing with Billy Riggs, when she finds out someone knows about her secret advice columnist side gig, times when her and Old Gin face intense racism, all had me at the edge of my seat, heart beating wildly, hoping for her safety (and Old Gin). Things do get resolved for her with regards to some things but I never had any issue with it because she already faces so many other hardships, she deserves some happiness; some help and support from others and from the universe. Despite her being the main character, I never relaxed in any of the tense and dangerous situations. Basically everything felt so real, it felt like things could go bad and stay that way so when it went good, I would marginally relax. Not all the way, this is still a novel set during a time when people of colour couldn’t win. Everything comes at a cost and of course this is set right before full on segregation becomes law.

Overall I think the novel was beautifully written with multidimensional characters, themes that were explored well, and emotional and realistic depictions of life for people of colour. It makes me interested to pick up another book by this author in the future.

The closer I am to someone's grief, the closer I feel to my own. And that is a place with no doors and no windows. No escape at all.
