The word that comes up to describe this book is: sentimiento. I felt every page. It is a beautiful depiction of heartbreaking realities and decisions that many women must make, for better or worse, and it is much more than that. 

kshiffler's review against another edition

4.0

"I wanted to write a story that would reflect the fear and danger that comes with black womanhood and the adultification of black girls, while also recognizing that Kiara-like so many of us who find ourselves in circumstances that feel impossible to survive-is still capable of joy and love."

Well written, descriptive, raw.
