This was a amazing read. This was my first read by Tiffany Jackson and I really loved how she put her own little twist to Carrie. I was jumping back and forth from reading it and listening to the audio. I ended up putting down ebook and just listened to it because the audio was just that good. There are so many narrators and they all did an amazing job.
The Weight of Blood tackles a lot of issues of racism and what people will do to survive this, sometimes cruel, world. There is conversation about blackness. I find this nuance conversation is talked about A LOT. I like that there are challenging conversations in this book between some of the characters.
