Black Girl Unlimited fearlessly explores the intersections of poverty, sexual violence, depression, racism, and sexism—all through the arc of a transcendent coming-of-age story for fans of Renee Watson's Piecing Me Together and Ibi Zoboi's American Street.

This annoyed me initially because it seems to be both fiction and memoir and I was all, “Pick one dammit!” But I really enjoyed it so fuck classification.
100000 crying emojis. this cut me so deep. it's hard to explain the feeling this book gave me, as it reads very autobiographical and yet also magical and a bit surreal, it feels ... the way trauma is described and dealt with in this was painful and raw and real. also the conversation on race and poverty was extremely powerful. woof. what a book.
