A review by lminique
Black Girl/White Girl by Joyce Carol Oates

2.0

The title of this book is misleading. It is told from the white girls' point of view, has some aspects of racism, and an unrequited friendship. The white girl is eager to be liked by everyone and the black girl is very outspoken and rude. This story is basically about the dysfunction of the white girls' radicalist family (mostly her father) and her guilt. I found that all the characters were unlikeable. The premise of the story was actually a good one, it just fell short for me. I actually rate this a 2.5
