Hum If You Don't Know the Words by Bianca Marais

2.5

I really liked the character of Beauty. I was confused by Robin. Sometimes she was innocent and childlike, other times wise and philosophical. What could have been a wonderful device and huge twist was revealed early and with little drama or consequence. Huge plot points were just casually mentioned. Improbable events happened often. Comparisons to The Help seem apt because both have racism as a theme but very much from a white perspective with Black characters there to serve the white character (literally and figuratively).
