A review by mfeezell
The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin

5.0

I used to be fascinated by New York as a child, and I feel like I understand it better than I ever could thanks to this book. It was scary, it was funny, it was tense, and even though I'm not from New York, nor have I ever even been to New York, the warm feeling of home and connectedness to something bigger than yourself is very familiar. I wonder what the Bay Area's denizens would be like.
