The Unsettled by Ayana Mathis
2.5
the way the story concluded when it comes to Ava, Cas and all the other people they were doing important work with was absolutely horrible. wtf??? this is one of the worst anti Black liberatory novel I've read and the worst part is that I don't even think the author meant it that way???

A Little Kissing Between Friends by Chencia C. Higgins
4.0
loved the family love from Poppa's family to Jucee's family at Sanity and Samir & Jucee relationship. loved how BLACK it all was. and the reason why i am not giving it 5* is the focus on the toxic all consuming obsessive behaviour that is pushed as 'real love'. which of course is very on brand for romance books, but since it is queer, i was hoping it wouldn't be the same shit in all the terrible ways that matter.

Rob turns slowly, just in time to catch his mom in the doorway, hovering dangerously close. “Uh… um.” He clears his throat. “Mom?”
“What’s this about Ghana?” his mom asks again, this time looking at Alice. “Why would you be talking about Ghana on this Saturday? Everybody knows we are Nigerians.”

. A year later Amma and Appa had me, so that I could walk in the shadows that Tabu’s wrinkled little body never cast.
