pickI really enjoyed this coming of age story. Definitely recommend.
Impromptu day off of work due to school having no power. Snuggling in for some reading time.
pickA great book.
4.25/5
Read for February #Buzzwordathon - Pronouns
Bahni Turpin is the best narrator. I really enjoyed this story of a multiracial multiethnic teen navigating her parents' separation and how that makes each side try to cling to what they see as their piece of her. Neveah is also navigating what it means to be white passing and how to use that privilege with care. Also, smoochies.
CN: police brutality, cyber bullying, microaggressions.
so-soFeels a bit condescending to say you can tell a book is a debut, but...yeah. While I think it‘s terrific to see rep of the struggles that multiracial kids face & appreciated seeing Neveah try to reconcile the different aspects of her identity, overall the writing was weak & most characters were flat & inconsistent. Was also put off by the inaccuracies re: Judaism & Neveah‘s ALL CAPS RAGE against her Jewishness. More details in my GR review. 2/5 ⭐️
I‘m surprisingly in the mood for a heavy, hard-hitting, emotional contemporary. All the reviews say this will hit the mark! #nowreading
pickNevaeh is mixed race and struggles to find footing in any part of her world. She commits many of the same foibles as anyone coming of age, but with the complicating factors of her ethnicity and white presentation. A solid book about racism and colorism, though a few of the characters seem to get a pass for their own bad behavior, which I didn‘t like.
pickA great story that highlights the importance of being a good ally, checking your privilege, and letting your voice be heard. Nevaeh‘s feelings about her parents‘ divorce reminded me a lot of how I felt when my parents got divorced when I was 16 (no cheating involved, tho), and I liked reading about an experience unlike my own, but that still resonated with me.

Do you do any makeup subscription services? I‘ve been doing Ipsy for almost two years. I started it in hopes of getting some good quality makeup to try for my wedding day. After learning the importance of rating my products so they could better customize my bag, I fell in love with the service! I like everything that came in the bag this month, including add on. I don‘t usually care about the bag itself, but this month‘s Betty Boop bag is so cute!
pickI really enjoyed this book. It is about Nevaeh who biracial and is trying to find her way after her parents spilt. Her mom is African American and her Dad is Jewish and she just doesn't know were she fits in anymore. My heart did break for Nevaeh throughout the book!
Listening to an audiobook while I prep for dinner. Almost halfway to the finish line! #mbcreadathon #mbcfrogsread7 @MonthlyBookClub

pickI really enjoyed this coming of age debut novel by Natasha Diaz about bi-racial 16 year old Nevaeh Levitz trying to figure out where she truly belongs when her black mother and Jewish father split up. For my full 4 star review click here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2826258261

Chocolate, YES for energy and ant-stress😜Let's see what is inside of that wrap paper🤔. @Mommamanzi
pickOh my god, this is an extraordinary book. The way Natasha Diaz weaves the two worlds of Nevaeh's life is expertly done. Nevelaeh struggles with who she is and where she belongs and through the story answers certain questions about herself and finds new questions in the process as well. She finds love, family, secrets, and friends. Everyone needs to read this book. The last half had me sobbing. Please check it out!
Just started and already loving this. I love how the MC is navigating her two worlds and cannot wait to see what else she finds out about her mom's life.
