Review This book is heavy but we need books like this and I’m so happy I was given the chance to read. I was a child when the riots in LA happened and had no clue about Latasha Harlins until I read this book now. She was killed over orange juice. 🤬 This book also tackles colorism in the Black […]
Review Sophia was strong willed and assertive. I loved that she didn’t want to get in line, know her place and live her life serving a man or anyone. The story touched on a lot of topics especially the treatment of young girls and women. The author created a world that was very detailed and I could see everything playing […]
Review This book had a very strong start and I couldn’t put the book down but it did stall in the middle. I’m happy I pushed through because the book got really good and the twist took me by surprise. The WHOLE book I was thinking one thing and then the author went and pulled the rug from under my […]
Review Saving Ruby King is a very thought provoking own voices novel. As a black woman living in America, I found myself stopping to highlight and reflect numerous time while reading this story. There are several characters in this story and they all have their own points of view. It was a little tricky at first but I eventually found […]
Review This was my first time reading Sajni Patel and it wasn’t a bad read. I enjoy reading diverse books that showcases other cultures that aren’t my own.

Review *Thank you to GoodReads and Custom House for my review copy* As much as I wanted to like this book, it didn’t work out in my favor. I didn’t really care for the main character Ines. I feel she is written in a way that you will either like or dislike her character. I did like Yaya who is […]
Review This is my first time reading this author and I had no idea what I was in for when I started this book. This story takes place in a small town, about a group of housewives who are in a book club. Patricia is the main character and is wanting more from her life than cooking, cleaning the house […]
Review After reading and loving Some Places More Than Others by Renee Watson, I am making it my business to read more of her books. I watched the television show Ramona when I was younger so this is a nice and refreshing spin on the character. This book doesn’t have a traditional plot but the general consensus is how to […]
Review This book!!! From the moment I started this book I was hooked! I’ve never read this author before and this book blew me away. The story was fast paced and the twists completely took me by surprise as I read. My heart was racing. My jaw was dropping. This is how you write a thriller. Read the book. The […]
