jltbrown2579 's review for:
The Twelve Tribes of Hattie
by Ayana Mathis
The book created emotions for me but sadly they were mostly of frustration. If that was the author's intention then she was spot on. I felt deeply for Hattie when she lost her twins but her hardness and anger made it hard for me to have any feelings towards her. She was so guarded with herself that I felt pity for her children. All of her children carried scars of her rigid emotions and seemed doomed from the start.
The character development was really good and was the saving grace for this book. I enjoyed how each child had a story to tell and how the timelines were all different. It was a little jarring for the author to jump from 1st person to 3rd person with the different characters but it wasn't too great of a hurdle.
