Read for an elective class, “Teaching Narrative and Expository Literacy”

I liked it more than I expected. It’s for a younger audience, but still had some really good lines that hit.  This book covers a lot of sensitive material, but approached it nicely and left me thinking. Listened to the audiobook narrated by the author!

Jade reminded me so much of myself when I was young: isolated, unsure, but still so passionate. I loved following on her journey and really saw her grow into a more self-assured person. This book filled me with so much pride, I hope all young black girls get a chance to interact with this novel.

5.0

Wow, this book is so empowering and inspiring. I loved reading all the flaws each of the characters had and how they overcame them. I loved Jade, and felt for her, and i could really resonate with how she felt about herself, her image, her future, and her aspirations, especially as I too am a young poor black girl trying to figure out how to make it in the world. I even started tearing up

when Maxine and Jade’s mum were cooking together , i don’t know why, but that really got to me.

I just felt so proud of Jade and all her accomplishments . This book is essential for every young black girl to read, to know that they can find their voice in the world, no matter the circumstance.
