Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop by Danyel Smith

4.0

If I'm entirely honest I was lost as to what was happening to whom and when for like half of this book. I don't really listen to pop music, I don't even listen to the radio if I can avoid it, my musical tastes tend to be rather niche so a lot of the names and events in the book I was altogether unfamiliar with and when you pair that with jumps back and forth in time and my ADHD you can imagine the result. That being said I enjoyed Smith's style and delivery as well as her personality so I still had a great time.
