dodecashedron 's review for:
If You Come Softly
by Jacqueline Woodson
This book didn't feel like reading a story, it felt like I was walking besides two teenagers living their normal, mundane lives. And in the beginning. I wondered if something was going to happen, since this is based on Shakespeare after all, but soon enough I forgot about it.
And then I came to the end, and it became painfully clear why this story had to be told like this. To show you that this is not a story, this is mundane life, still, for a large number of people living in this world, just trying to get home.
It helped change a mediocre story to an excellent one. This story helped see so much more what dangers and challenges black people face still, but hopefully not forever.
