Chlorine Sky
by Mahogany L. Browne
This book hits like a whispered truth you didn’t know you needed. Chlorine Sky is a coming-of-age novel-in-verse that floats between poetry and pain, girlhood and growth, heartbreak and healing. Mahogany L. Browne captures the rawness of navigating friendships, identity, and self-worth as a young Black girl trying to make sense of her place in a world that often tries to write her story for her.
Sky’s voice is real, vulnerable, and utterly relatable. You feel the ache of being left out, the confusion of growing up and growing apart, and the beauty of finally stepping into your own power. Browne doesn’t just tell a story—she unfolds it, line by poetic line.
I docked one star only because I wanted more—more pages, more time with Sky, more resolution with a few key relationships. But that longing might be the point. Life isn’t always tied up neatly, and this book honors that.
