I love novels written in verse (especially those centered around coming-of-age and self discovery), so I was really eager to come across this debut by Mahogany L. Browne! That being said, I appreciated the overarching idea of this novel, but the execution fell kind of flat for me and I frequently found myself having to re-read verses to make sense of what was happening. It wasn't poorly written by any means, it just wasn't a writing style that I completely connected with. That being said, I definitely want to pick up more of this author's work in the future!
