Black by Tracy Brown
5.0
Simply but beautifully written. Strong characters with lovable and hate-able personalities. We follow the story of Kira, a young woman who watched her mother stab her father to death before her eyes when she was only 4 years old. This very same mother sees only her mistakes in Kira and hates her 3rd child.
**SPOILERS**
Kira is an amazing character and I was sucked into the story so strongly that I spent a large portion of the last third of the book sobbing and cheering along with the story. When her best friend/sister/soul-saver dies after the epileptic episode I was devastated for her. But watching her pull through to find herself in the book through her friends, the love she finds, the strength she grows was one of the best feelings I could have when reading a book.
