How Are You Going to Save YourselfFour young men struggle to liberate themselves from the burden of being black and male in America in an assured debut "as up to the minute as a Kendrick Lamar track and as ruefully steeped in eternal truths as a Gogol tale" (Kirkus, starred review). Bound together by shared experience but pulled apart by their changing fortunes, four young friends coming of age in the postindustrial enclave of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, struggle to liberate themselves
Four young men struggle to liberate themselves from the burden of being black and male in America in an assured debut "as up-to the-minute as a Kendrick Lamar track and as ruefully steeped in eternal truths as a Gogol tale" (Kirkus, starred review). Bound together by shared experience but pulled apart by their changing fortunes, four young friends coming of age in the postindustrial enclave of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, struggle to liberate themselves from the legacies left to them as black men in America. With potent immediacy and bracing candor, this provocative debut follows a decade in the lives of Dub, Rolls, Rye, and Gio as they each grapple with the complexity of their family histories, the newfound power of sex and drugs, and the ferocity of their desires. Gio proves himself an unforgettable narrator, beautifully flawed and unstintingly honest, as he recounts both the friends' conflicts and their triumphs. Whether it's a fraught family cookout, a charged altercation on the block, a raucous night in high-society Manhattan gone wrong, or the troubled efforts of a drug hustler to go clean, JM Holmes brings the thump and the heat of his scenes to life with the kind of ease that makes us not just eavesdroppers but participants. How Are You Going to Save Yourself illuminates in breathtaking detail an entire world-one that has been underrepresented in American fiction. At times funny, often uncomfortable, occasionally disturbing, these stories fearlessly engage with issues of race, sex, drugs, class, and family. Holmes's blistering and timely new voice, richly infused with the unmistakable rhythms of hip-hop that form the sound track to his characters' lives, delivers an indelible fiction that has never been more vital and necessary.Shipping Notes

Let’s Be Honest… I Bought This Hoping for Magic
Let’s be honest-anytime a product says “plumping” or “volume,” my expectations immediately split into two categories:
absolutely nothing happens, or
I convince myself something happened because I spent money on it.
This one actually surprised me.
The texture is lightweight but nourishing, and because it’s anhydrous, it feels a little richer without being greasy or heavy. I started using a small amount consistently in areas where my skin looked a little tired or less full, and over time my skin definitely started looking smoother, healthier, and more refreshed overall.
One thing I really appreciate is that it doesn’t just sit on top of the skin making you shiny for five minutes and then disappear into disappointment. It absorbs well, layers nicely with the rest of my routine, and leaves my skin feeling soft instead of sticky.
The biggest thing I noticed is that my skin just looks more “awake” and healthy lately-like I’ve been drinking enough water, sleeping properly, and making responsible life choices…which may or may not be true.
I’ve tried a lot of skincare products that sounded impressive and did very little. This one actually earned a permanent spot in the routine.

Good product
I've used a few different volufiline’s and I like this one best. You get a tingling sensation that you don't get from other brands. Most of them are around the same price but this brand seems to have a bit of a larger bottle. I recommend purchasing this product. My smile lines are reducing significantly. I stopped putting it on my under eyes because I read somewhere it can make them worse. You also have to continue using it to keep the changes.

This makes my face feel amazing
I love how this makes my face feel! It’s still early to tell how effective it’ll be, but I saw friends yesterday that I hadn’t seen in almost a month and they commented how well rested and useful I looked! It was pretty flattering

Recommending with caution
I noticed a slight difference but it did cause some irritation around my eyes. I have very sensitive skin so it’s not that hard to imagine. I have hallows under my eyes and dark circles. It helped lighten them slightly but it also worsened puffiness that was so subtle you wouldn’t have even noticed it. So while it helped the hollows it also caused puffy bumps where people normally would get eye bags. I eye tried to apply with a queue tip just around the edge of the dark circle/hallow. Won’t be using again because I didn’t like the puffiness but I think it’s worth a try with the right application. If you are irritation and acne prone I wouldn’t go for this. It is an oil base and while it’s a thinner oil it still slides around the skin and can get places you don’t want. And to add some context I used this for about 2 weeks for me to see the noticeable difference. Everything prior to that could be placebo. Research online says it should take about a month but as I said, puffiness that was minor became voluminous and noticeable. Wish it was able to stay only where I put it!

SUPER OILY Consistency
If you're an oily girl like me, use with caution. This is SUPER oily. When I read serum in the product name, I thought of a gel like serum, not an oil. It is super greasy, so you may want to save this for nighttime skincare. It's too soon to see results but I at least wanted to send out a warning about how oily/greasy it is for my oily friends. If you have drier skin, you may love the super charged shine this lends. I make this kind of shine on my own and don't need more help in that area. Will definitely switch to nighttime use vs daytime.
