This book was equal parts frustrating and impactful.
A story about a group of Black women who've been lifelong friends you see how each one is navigating their relationships and the wide spectrum of struggles that Black women face.
It was wonderful to read about flawed, strong, and thriving Black women, standing in their power, embracing self love, and demanding to be treated with the respect and support the deserve, while also seeing how the Black men in their lives are working to overcome the systems that do everything they can to keep them down and the ways in which that impacts the way they show their love to the people around them.
Reading about the joys and heartache of Black love and seeing these Black women lifting each other up even though their drastically different life choices made me really glad I picked up this one even though contemporary fiction is usually my preferred genre.
Eboni Flowers did a wonderful job with the narration, and by the end I felt like I really had a clear picture of these women were. I already their story will stay with me for quite awhile, and I'll definitely be interested in reading more from Tracy Brown.
