A review by omnomicons
Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline Woodson

3.5

This book was not quite what I thought it would be. The prose was very experimental, which I enjoyed, but could also probably make the stories more difficult to follow. It felt like an anthology if the lines between the chapters had been blurred and smudged, never quite sure where one ended and the next began. The insight into what Brooklyn used to be like was valuable, especially with the traces of the gentrification we know now. The characters were so unique and yet I felt like I’ve always known them.
