The Blackbirds by Eric Jerome Dickey
3.0
Typically I love EJD books but this one was just okay for me.
I loved the friendships displayed among the 4 women, although I did not like the characters themselves, especially Indigo. I think she was my least favorite. Her personality was awful. Kwanzaa wasn't all that memorable to me but at least she was tolerable. Destiny's story was just...a lot but I loved her. Ericka was my favorite character but the fact that she was sleeping with her friend's dad creeped me tf out. Reading the scenes with those 2 made me uncomfortable. Ericka seemed like a decent person and I hate that her mother and life in general was so awful towards her.
Honestly, the book was too long. We could've skipped through a lot of Indigo and Kwanzaa's drama.
