THIS is a MUST read for any African/African-American woman who's ever been called angry, irate, ugly, hard to deal with or any of the other things we get called on a basis. It's the textual equivalent of being thrown into a sister circle and being reaffirmed that you're going to be alright. We maybe painted as "the problem" by others, but we as women of the diaspora know the truth of who we are and how we came to be. Thankfully, with tis book, Tamara Winfrey Harris thankfully puts together a work of social commentary and research that not only lets us air out our grievances, but also a book that takes the critics of African/African-American women to task and demands recognition for all that we do.
If you've got a tambourine, be ready to shake it because Motha Harris wrote 'de truth in these pages. I recommend it to EVERYONE!!!!!!!

I enjoyed the quirkiness of this book, but that ending was too abrupt. Definitely suggest reading this one if you need a cute summer read.
If you like this one, I'd recommend reading [b: Extremely Loud, Incredibly Close|4588|Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close|Jonathan Safran Foer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327879967s/4588.jpg|1940137] by Jonathan Safran Foer, which features another special, one-of-a-kind child as the protagonist.

This wasn't my favorite Holmes story. I felt like Irene Adler lacked characterization. She's given the label as "the woman" by Holmes, but the only thing she is described at is pretty and clever. Not to mention the story itself was so vague and scattered that I couldn't get an actual grasp of how Holmes got duped by Adler. This is definitely not my favorite short story from the Sherlock Holmes' canon.
