Red Clay Suzie by Jeffrey Dale Lofton

4.5

Red Clay Suzie is the kind of book that sneaks up on you. I picked this lovely debut up and before I knew it a few hours had passed and I was all done and sitting in my feelings.

This was a beautiful memoir-esque fiction that reminded me of so many coming of age books and movies I’ve loved but was still unique. I loved the Southern background, the characters, the descriptions. The feeling of being different and misunderstood resonated deeply with me. And, although I don’t do it often, I found myself tabbing lots of quotes that carried a lot of emotional weight.
