Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez

4.0

Okay soooooo when I got this as an option during my November TBR game I was not super excited about it. I have a love hate relationship with basically literary fiction. But despite how hard it is for me to connect and get on board with the stories.. they also OFTEN end up being five stars or simply highly rated books. So I hoped for the best and was very happy when I immediately got into it. I knew the book was inspired by true events and focused on several topics that I care about as a black woman myself so I figured I would be interested enough to continue even if I didn't love the writing. Fortunately I didn't have to worry about that because I enjoyed the perspective of the main character, the writing and the way the story was crafted. I was vert interested to see what was going on and was just very invested.
