The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson

5.0

In 1950s Philadelphia, 15-year-old Ruby Pearsall is on track to become the first person to attend college in her family. Despite overcoming rejection from her mom, who seems more interested in keeping a man than raising her, Ruby is determined to do whatever it takes to realize her dreams. In the meantime, in Washington, DC, Eleanor Quarles arrives at Howard University with her own ambitions while being attracted to a handsome young man from an elite Black family. HOUSE OF EVE follows two women whose lives are unwittingly intertwined through their journeys for love, acceptance, and education.

The most important thing you need to know about HOUSE OF EVE is DON’T READ THE BLURBS! I think it gives too much away
