The Black Girls Left Standing by Juliana Goodman

4.0

This book is so important especially now and the way this book discussed race, socioeconomic status, and other important subjects really impressed me. This book follows Beau as she uncovers the truth about her sister's death and I loved every moment of it. Juliana Goodman did a fantastic job of really making me understand and feel what Beau was going through and as a black woman with a black sister this book really did hit me hard and there were even moments where I felt myself get emotional while reading. Although Beau was going through a very hard part of her life I liked that we also saw some aspects of her life that reminded us that she was a child such as her going through drama with friends and dealing with romantic feelings. At times I felt this book was a bit slow and I felt myself skimming through it but for the most part I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to others to read!
