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.
