3.5/5

So I didn't even know that there was a sequel to In Every Mirror She's Black until I literally stumbled across this title on Goodreads. Honestly, one thing Lola does well is write a good interwoven story with each character somehow relating to the next. That's about the only thing I really loved about this book, though. There was just a bit too much drama for me and the majority of the women's stories (at least Brittany and Kemi's) felt like they came to an abrupt halt all within the last couple of chapters. I LOVED the sisterhood between Muna and Yasmin and felt their story was complete - what a beautiful friendship! Took of a few points because some of the content/triggers in here were too much for me, but added points solely because of the storytelling style.
