A review by knbee
Halsey Street by Naima Coster

4.0

I really liked this one. Solid story arc, intriguing primary characters, vivid (and complicated) settings, straightforward writing. My one complaint is that some of the secondary characters, particularly the gentrifying hipsters, skewed stereotypical. And given that a major theme of the book is coming to terms with the gentrification of a beloved neighborhood, more complexity in this area would have made for a stronger story.
