Shut Up You're Pretty by Téa Mutonji

emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

I really loved this.  It's a  collection of gritty, vulnerable and tender coming of age stories about a young Black woman growing up in Scarborough.  We follow along with her as she becomes an adult, and as she navigates various relationships.  Similar vibes to Joshua Whitehead's 'Jonny Appleseed' and Catherine Hernandez's 'Scarborough'.  Shortlisted for Canada Reads 2024.
