A thoughtful coming of age YA.
This book touches on the aspects family, honesty, race, and found family. It is funny while being insightful. It pulls on those heart strings and doesn’t let go at times. It felt close to home for those not “black” enough girls, the quiet girls, shy girls. You will leave this book feeling brave.
I appreciate the convos had with white counterparts but I think my hatred for them made me wish it wasn’t there. But I understand why. Great read overall all and easy to digest.
