A review by l1brarygirl
The Talk by Darrin Bell

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

I pretty much cried through the last 25% of this book. So poignant & powerful. I think Bell was honest and I loved how this book came full circle in a heart-breaking way: The Talk given to him by his own mother when he was 6 to when he had to have this same talk with his own son at the age of 6.
