Confessions in B-Flat by Donna Hill

4.0

Jason, an acolyte of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., has come up from the South to recruit volunteers to the cause of nonviolent resistance. In Harlem he meets Anita, who waits tables and writes poetry and is active in the movement begun by Malcolm X. The romance between these two is sweet and sexy, but watching them hash out their very real philosophical differences brings it to another level. And this book is so atmospheric! I felt totally transported to the 1960s. My favorite part was the many song references--I made a playlist and it really added to my enjoyment, 10/10 would recommend.
