The Beautiful Struggle (Adapted for Young Adults) by Ta-Nehisi Coates

hopeful lighthearted reflective tense medium-paced

4.0

This book was okay. I am a transplant to Baltimore from Atlanta. The book gives details of the author’s upbringing in West Baltimore. Coincidentally, where I now live. I hear my coworkers bragging about Poly or City rivalries around homecoming. This book gives me a picture of what that looked like. Besides being so Baltimore, the book gives the author’s background and family relationships. The book doesn’t end how you think. Seems like it’s not finished to me.
