The Orange Houses by Paul Griffin
5.0
Three troubled young artists, Tamika, Fatmia, and Jimmi, cross paths and make lasting impressions on each other over the course of a month in the Bronx.
Surprisingly powerful, and as beautifully written as it is bleak. At the very beginning of the book, you learn that one of the three main characters will be hung by a vigilante mob, and the chapters count down the days leading up to that tragic event. It's shocking then, that the ending is more hopeful than sad.
