Destiny (howling libraries)
I've heard a lot of love for this book and I'd enjoyed short stories by Tananarive Due before, so I had a feeling I'd enjoy this, but I didn't know just how much I would adore The Reformatory. This book was an absolute masterpiece from start to finish and I wouldn't have changed a single thing about it. I'm so glad that I finally read it and I'm going to shove this beautiful, sad story at everyone I possibly can.
Thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.
✨ Representation: several Black main and side characters, two sapphic side characters
✨ Content warnings for: graphic racism, racist slurs, misogyny, sexual harassment, sexual assault, graphic abuse, pedophilia, rape, infant death/murder, child death/murder, imprisonment, mentions of cancer/terminal illness, grief
