Black Enough: Stories of Being Young & Black in America by Ibi Zoboi
4.0
I liked all of the stories in this book and REALLY liked a majority of them. A lot of the stories were nice and relatable, short and sweet and pleasant. Nothing was too heavy or too hard but they didn't ignore or avoid serious topics. Nice balance.
I did struggle a little bit with the fact that it was a collection of short stories. I was reading it for #buzzwordathon so I wanted to get through the book but I felt like this was the type of book that is better savored. A slow read that you take a few stories at a time when you're in the mood for something quick. Each time I finished a story I wanted to move on to something bigger and longer. But regardless I still really enjoyed it.
