The Unfriendly Black Hotties: a book that you think gets a bad rap
The Unfriendly Black Hotties from Mean Girls (2004)

I chose this prompt because the unfriendly Black hotties get labeled as mean just for minding their business! All y’all messy, of course they don’t wanna be y’all’s friends!😒

So read a book that gets bad or mixed reviews, but that you still think is gonna be great!

(Also feel free to add recommendations of books that you love, that other people don’t, so people can have options!)
