This book was so beautiful and meaningful and absolutely heart breaking.  I loved reading it, but it made me cry a lot. 

There were a lot of tough themes to deal with in this book, but the overall message and the beauty of the writing were amazing and definitely worth the heartbreak. I would recommend this book to everyone.

I read The Stars and the Blackness between them for this month’s #SapphicStoriesBookclub and… WOW!

This was so much more than what I thought it was going to be.
I went into this expecting a sweet contemporary romance, what I got was everything I didn’t know I needed.

It’s a celebration of love, life and of culture and queerness and black girl magic. 
It’s heartbreaking but uplifting, and so full of emotion. 
 
I loved that it isn’t a coming out story or a relationship exclusive storyline.
This book is truly an all around experience.  

The writing is one of the most beautiful I have encountered in a long time, it’s so artful and poetic that it literally brought me to tears.
