Confessions in B-Flat by Donna Hill

4.0

It's a young adult, new adult historical fiction romance set in Harlem in the Civil Rights era. And it is lovely! The central conflict is between the political ideologies of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, as the two young dedicated Black people argue their own stances. It's timely, not just to the civil rights movement but to the political climate today. I also loved the history of Harlem and Brooklyn that is interwoven through the book, showing the authors love for the Black Americana and era she chose for the book.
Overall, I wish this book had been around when I was discovering romance, and I'm so glad to have read it. Highly recommend for new readers and romance lovers.
