A review by literarynessie
American Street by Ibi Zoboi

3.0

I'm very angry and I'm very sad. I'm angry I didn't see this coming. I'm sad because this book hurt. I'm really sick and tired of reading about black trauma. Quick personal rant: I don't have an issue with the author writing this story; I'm just sick of publishers of acquiring the same thing. Almost 5 years after this book is published and it's still rare to find black boy/girl joy books :(

No one talk to me for the next year. Goodbye.
