Questions:
0-5 Stars, How Would You Rate It?Why?
-5/5 with absolutely no hesitation. There is a reason why representation is important and Octavia’s perspective adds so many incredible emotions to a typically white male dominated genre. LIKE THE FACT THAT LAUREN A YOUNG BLACK GIRL HAD THE ABILITY TO UNWILLINGLY FEEL OTHERS FEELINGS, LIKE BOTH PLEASURE AND PAIN!!! It just takes a few seconds thinking about that detail that proves only a Black Woman could write a book like this.
What Album Would Accompany This Book Well?
-"New Amerykah, Pt. 1 (4th World War)”-Erykah Badu-2008
One Lesson You Learned?
