4.0

This anthology is brilliant.

There was so much black boy joy and black girl magic sprinkled in all these stories written by truly amazing writers. It was really fun to read. Each story is contemporary and shows all the different aspects of what black people, especially young black people, can be.

I wish I had this anthology when I was a kid. Something that said that just because you grow up one way doesn't make you any less black. Something that said it's okay to be a nerd. Something that made me feel seen.

So good, so wonderful. I repeat, brilliant.
