A review by purlewe
Disgruntled by Asali Solomon

4.0

I heard about this from NPR, but then my wife met the author when she came to read the book at Lea (one of the schools Kenya attends in the book in West Philly). I really enjoyed this book and really loved so much of it. The writing. The location. The struggle to find yourself when you are always in a place where you don't feel like you belong. And while I loved so much of this book I will admit the ending left me.. disgruntled. I didn't need so much resolution as I felt like the story dropped you suddenly in a place you weren't expecting to be, then left you with a blank page after. I hope there is a follow up to this. And I would gladly read more of Ms. Solomon's work. I just felt like there was more to the story, and wish there had been more after that last blank page.
