For Black Girls Like Me by Mariama J. Lockington
5.0
Heartbreakingly beautiful coming of age story
I fell completely in love with Keda. She tells a unique story of what it is like to be a young black girl coming of age in these times. The book deals with racism head on and shines light on the way that even the best allies can have missed steps.
There were points in this book that were hard to read. The N-word is used once in the book but it was a very important part of the story. Other than that the book does not use any harsh or bad language.
