Homebodies by Tembe Denton-Hurst

4.0

This book is so interesting and really good. It got hard seeing the main character make mistakes but it was just so real and understandable. I really liked how the author wrote about several conflicts how they layered and intersected. She was dealing with racism at work, family homophobia, ex drama, parental expectations and abandonment. When the main character goes back home for a few weeks it's refreshingly normal- nostalgic, disappointing, exhausting, annoying, but surrounded with love.
