This book was like the YA version of <i>Olga Dies Dreaming</i> and I enjoyed it a ton. It had a little bit of everything—family drama and reconciliation, romance and mystery. I loved seeing Avery’s relationship develop with Mama Letty. I wish I hadn’t listened to it on audio as I think I might have liked it even more but nonetheless a great book for Black History Month!!
