Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta

3.0

It was enjoyable, and I’m glad to hear stories from the life of a Jamaican Canadian girl and her family. But it was pretty superficial. It didn’t require a lot of deep thinking, and relied on sort of petty interactions within relationships and gossip. Perhaps it was a bit YA in that way, though I’ve read some pretty profound YA at times.
