Where the Line Bleeds by Jesmyn Ward

5.0

Everyone should read this book, some of so that we can see ourselves reflected in a rich and wonderful amalgam of personalities who grew up and are living in the hood, and some of us so we can be exposed to an equal parts hyper realistic and exceedingly compelling depiction of such a grouping of characters. I felt elated to get to know the wonderful main characters in this story, who I couldn’t help but feel like could have been my friends and friends’ family from high school.
