Brit Bennett the writer you are...
jenhurst's review against another edition
4.0
4.5.
Brit Bennett’s writing and narrative voice is beautiful. It draws me in and keeps me engaged the entire time. I loved this story about being black in contemporary America. It doesn’t feel like a debut and after reading 2 books by Brit Bennett I know I will be reading all of her books that she puts out going forward. The story is just so beautiful and I felt so attached to all the characters.
