What We Lose by Zinzi Clemmons

2.0

There were parts that I really loved but there was also a lot I didn't like. I added a star just because there was a quote that truly made me cry and described how I felt about something specific, but overall I feel like something is missing in this book. It was getting interesting in part two because it had so much depth and realist narrative but part three fell flat for me. Another thing that really bothered me was the almost randomness of the articles that don't really make sense with the story. I did read this book in class so we analyzed everything but some of the outside references weren't really needed.

I didn't hate this book but I wish it was less articles and had a clearer ending. I hope Clemmons continues to write books and grow as an author because the idea behind "What We Lose" was intriguing.
