Any book that makes me cry and feel really hard emotions is probably an instant 5⭐️ and I love that for myself! This story hits on so many difficult things, drug abuse/OD, grief, mental health within the black community, breaking generational curses and sibling relationships!!!! This was so good and I give kudos for BOM picking this up and giving it the platform to be seen. 

This story takes place over the span of a summer, after the loss of KB and Nia’s dad, who died of an OD. Mom is dealing with not just this loss but also things that have happened in her past that we as a community just “brush under the rug”. KB and Nia spend the summer with their grandfather and the story just takes off from there. I think the difficult moments were discussed beautifully and with care. And this story also brings to light how the younger generation can help break certain curses and can even help be a healing mechanism for the older generation. 

KB has such a wonderful spirit and kind heart and her favorite story was Anne of Green Gables😍 I really enjoyed this one and I hope more people get to experience this one !
