I am honestly in awe of this book! It is an absolute masterpiece and I advise you all to go and pick up a copy when it comes out at the end of November 2022. I listened to the audiobook (thank you Netgalley and RB Media for giving me a chance to review this book) but definitely will also be picking up a physical copy soon. The audiobook version was excellent and Tamika Katon-Donegal is a master-narrator, they absolutely do the book justice!

It's hard to talk about this book without giving away too much about the plot for me. So I will keep this review short. We Deserve Monuments is a coming-of-age story featuring a mixed-race queer main character who moves to a small town to help her severely ill grandmother. This book broke my heart and healed it in more ways than one. I am never at a loss for words but this book, it's just... I just need you all to go read it!!!
