Let It Shine by Alyssa Cole
4.5
This was stunning. A really beautiful story of friends to lovers steeped in a Civil Rights Movement background. My true only quibble is that it was too short and Sofie’s guilt over her mom’s death seemed unresolved.
Also this was recommended as a Chanukah read (somewhere?), but it only happens briefly in the epilogue… which got a bit schmaltzy (pun unintended) in other ways. The bonus epilogue was brutal, but I liked seeing their imperfect happy ending.
