Memphis by Tara M. Stringfellow
5.0
What an impactful book for a debut! I absolutely loved this story. Black women living their lives and the challenges they face on a daily basis is always hard to read, but their stories were just so engaging and left me with many questions and wanting more.
The book heavily centres around race, abuse, relationships; black love and the struggles with men, especially when raising children without their fathers. I also enjoyed the exploration of the military stories which gave another dimension to the story.
The pace of the story never fell flat for me and it was an easy read, apart from two traumatic events which I found myself thinking about for a long time.
