Chlorine Sky by Mahogany L. Browne
4.0

YES: 3.5 stars -- battles some serious internalized racism thanks to the colorism comments she constantly deals with from both family and friends. She clings toxic friendships because it’s better than being alone. Sky has a half sister that doesn’t even acknowledge her existence, and to top it off, her home life is far from stable. Sky’s story is rooted in the truth that so many Black teens face.

Novel in verse is not my favorite but can be overlooked for the powerful message within. Great for reluctant readers.
