Angel of Greenwood by Randi Pink
5.0

(Disclaimer: I received this book from Netgalley. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)

TW: assault, racism

Angel of Greenwood is a book, days after finishing, that I still don't know how to process. Pink is able to take readers on a journey of dread, joy, secrets, and thrills. Tulsa is their community of happiness in a world of strife. A world of injustice. A testament to the fact that the worst things can happen to the best of people. But at the same time, Angel of Greenwood is a love story. Pink uses the background of Tulsa, the currents of danger, to paint a sweeping portrayal of love and forgiveness.

In this Dual POV story, Angel and Isaiah are compassionate and endearing. The ways we need the bravery to be ourselves, to believe we can change. Angel of Greenwood is a story about their lives, their trials and mistakes, their joys and fears. It's a celebration of how one person can impact our life. Readers can feel the mounting tension. Knowing that the powder key is going to explode, but I was swept away in the details of Angel and Isaiah's lives. How we worry about the details of tomorrow, while not realizing it's not guaranteed.
