I bawled my eyes out while reading this book. Fat, brown and short, I am no stranger to prejudices and mean comments. Reading Frizzy was like rewinding all those experiences, the fear and helplessness as I watched Marlene being bullied in school, compared to the perfect cousin in the family, being forced to do things to avoid criticisms from judgmental family members for her natural curly hair. The first half suffocated me but as after the rain comes the sun, The second half was full of meaningful lessons, healing from past traumas and realizing what true beauty means. Highly recommended!

A necessary and important read. I wish I had something like this when I was growing up! This was a beautiful tale about acceptance and learning how to be yourself. Truly recommend!
