It was great! The audiobook is very immersive and I really enjoyed this journey of a young teenage Black girl realizing her voice and it’s humanization of Black communities. It definitely challenges the way I think about the place(s) I come from as a Black girl. I also appreciated having a mostly Black cast of characters.
