This book has extreme insta-love, and the main character is a horrible bestfriend. Justice for Imani!!!

Not as good as rise to the sun for me, but still worth a read! Tackled all of its tough issues very well but

I found it really unbelievable that everyone would forgive toni that quickly and especially Olivia forgiving her without them having a real conversation about it. Ending with Festie Frankie was also weird and didn’t feel like as strong of a conclusion

If kids like music festivals and lots of drama, this is the book for them. Love the author but this book wasn’t my favorite —I just don’t enjoy all that drama nor have I ever wanted to attend an outside camping style rock festival. Fun characters, and I appreciated that the book is about two black girls who like each other and that isn’t considered taboo.
