A review by chautime
The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta

5.0

I loved this. My brain just ate this up. It was beautifully written with a great coming of age story and an important message on being unapologetically yourself as you keep figuring yourself out.

I've always hated the stereotypes and expectations set by society about who people should be and what is normal. I yearn for the day where everyone can be peaceful and fully themselves without any judgement or second thought.

What a great debut YA novel.
