#DynamicDs Day 26: This may be a perfect example of #Divisive 😅 Review is forthcoming.
Jade is a teen growing into adulthood and finding self amidst the challenges of being a black scholarship student at a prestigious high school. Jade lives with her hardworking grounded mother and young uncle E.J. The struggles of not fitting in and growing up are beautifully portrayed in this novel. A 4 ⭐️ pick for this one.
I did a large Venetian puzzle while I finished my first Thrity Umrigar. I‘ve gotta say, I thought she‘d deliver something much better than this book, which was entirely EXPECTED at every turn. Only one minor surprise in the whole thing, without the emotional resonance that might‘ve made up for its predictability. Even though people seem to agree this is her worst book, I won‘t rush to read her again. #audiopuzzling
Some of this really worked for me, other parts didn‘t so much. Really enjoyed the premise though 👍
I really didn‘t expect to like this book as much as I did! True, it was serious and pretty heavy- handed, but the characters leapt off the page. They were vivid and sympathetic- this really is essential reading for teens.
Happy Mother‘s Day, Mamas. ❤️
Last book for this week's homework! I really should've done some of this over spring break, yeesh. 😮💨
