All of Jacqueline Woodson's books are lovely, but there's something especially poignant about this one-- her recollections of growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, a child of both South Carolina and New York City. She is a master of novels (and now memoir) in verse, and this book will appeal to a wide age range, from middle grade through high school.

Was this beautifully written? Yes
Was this for me? No
I found this incredibly boring and I had to really fight to get through it. To be fair, memoirs are not something I have ever enjoyed reading. I only read this because I got it for free and a friend highly recommended it.

I don't have the words to adequately express how much I loved reading brown girl dreaming. I'm not usually the kind of reader to stop and reread, but I did with this book. There were so many beautifully written sections that I just had to go back and reread it immediately.
Read this. Now.
