The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris
2.25
dark mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I was wholy underwhelmed by this book.  It had a good premise and valid points, but it could have used editing... The author would have had a more punchy book if it was shorter and had removed the unnecessary plot points,
like the storyline that focused on Hazel's grandfather dying in the protest.  There was no point to that other than causing unease.
