This was a surprisingly good book! It’s full of short stories of various Black women growing up in I think the 70s. I was a bit apprehensive not knowing the author not directly interested in the title’s subject but it was full of good stories that were very well written and made you get caught up in the characters! Best book of short stories I’ve read in a while.

I think I am too young, too white and too English to 'get' this book

I don't think I'm the right audience for this book. It's heavily poetic and sometimes my analytical mind couldn't figure out what was going on. But I know a lot of people loved this book, so I think it's just me and my brain not getting it.
