4.0

"Notes on Her Color" by Jennifer Neal is a compelling novel that delves into themes of identity, race, and family dynamics. The story revolves around Gabrielle, a young Black woman who possesses the unique ability to change her skin color at will. This extraordinary gift, however, comes with its own set of challenges and complexities.

Gabrielle's journey is one of self-discovery and understanding the weight of her abilities in a world that is often harsh and unforgiving. The novel explores her relationship with her mother, who has her own secrets and struggles, and how these familial ties shape Gabrielle's understanding of herself and her place in the world!
