A review by brittanysreadingcorner
The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson

4.0

4 stars for The Weight of Blood. If you liked the movie/book Carrie, this is pretty much exactly the same story but Carrie and the boyfriend are black instead of white. I so much want to give this book 5 stars but there are so many things directly from Carrie and I was just hoping for more originality. I’ll just say, I went and rewatched Carrie right after I finished reading and there are direct quotes (multiple). If a book is going to be a remake of a previous book/movie I’d prefer the description say so.
I will say though I LOVED the twist on the story to bring light on racism.
