A review by pantsreadsbooks
Rebel by Beverly Jenkins

Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.

I hate to DNF this right now, especially as it is the MOST important time to support black authors, but to be entirely honest, the racism and misogyny and injustice were already making me angry (as they were meant to) prior to Tuesday. After Tuesday… I can’t also be that angry at my book right now. On a much smaller (but easier to talk about) note, this was also clearly the wrong Jenkins book to start with. Val is a great FMC, but not knowing the Le Veqs at all, they give a stunning amount of Previous Main Character Energy, without having the context for it. Like… no one talks about how their great-grandparents got together that much. Not even me, & it’s a good story!
