 I don't think I've ever seen a book convey so much meaning with so few words. In The Black Flamingo, no line is unnecessary. Every word is meaningful. Every page is beautiful. It's one of the best coming-of-age novels I've ever read.

Ugh. This is everything. A few minor things that I didn't a hundred per cent love but other than those this is something I think I will simply adore forever.

tbh I devoured this book in one sitting. the writing style wasn't what I expected it to be and I've never read a verse style story but I really enjoyed this one. it was written exceptionally well and presents some important ideas in simple words. even though I'm not a black, gay man, I identified with a lot of the feelings/situations in the book and felt seen. would definitely recommend.
