Piecing Me Together

THIS. BOOK. YALL!!! I can't believe I've been sleepin on this book and Renee Watson for so long. 

This is a novel about family, friendship, women empowerment. But most importantly, it's about the difficulties of being a black young woman that is wanting to succeed when so many odds are stacked against you. Jade was a fantastic character to read from, definitely one of my new favorites. I loved how passionate and caring she was. Her development from being soft-spoken and preferring to remain silent instead of speaking up. To the Jade that spoke up and defended herself when no one else did chefs kiss. This is a book I will be picking up to reread as soon as possible.
