A review by suswana
Big Girl by Mecca Jamilah Sullivan

4.0

It took a few chapters to adjust to the pacing but after finishing the whole book, I love Malaya’s character development and sense of self by the end of it. There are moments throughout where she’s shown the power of people who have chosen to be just themselves even in the character of her grandmother. It has a strong message, displays the complexities of humans and celebrates a Harlem we all once knew and still exists in pockets. Very well written.
