BROUGHTUPSY—my debut novel about Jamaican girlhood, migration, sexuality & loss—is out now!

🌟 Named a Best Book of 2024 by Elle, CBC Books, Electric Lit & Debutiful
🌟”A dazzling symphony of what it means to love, to grieve & to belong”—Shondaland #BookSky

This image is a rendering of the paperback cover for BROUGHTUPSY—the debut novel by Christina Cooke. The book cover depicts a clump of guinep, a Caribbean fruit, dangling on the vine against a blue background. Beneath the guinep are the words “Broughtupsy: A Novel; Christina Cooke” in white text. Underneath Christina’s name is a quote from Elle magazine which reads, “A deft debut overflowing with emotion.”
