If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin

challenging dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

I just finished this seconds ago. The book moves quickly but the story doesn’t until the very end. 

In some ways it feels like we’ve come pretty far in terms of how deep into a certain topic (eg. racism in our justice system) we’re comfortable going compared to how deep this book seems to go, but I think there’s a lot more to unpack here than what first meets the eye.
