zorhose 's review for:

Ain't Burned All the Bright by Jason Reynolds, Jason Griffin
4.0
emotional reflective sad
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This is one of those books that's an easy recommendation. It's a short read (therefore if you end up not liking it you will not have spent a lot of time on it), that's poetic and reflective, yet accessible and raw. The artwork guides you as you flow through the book and I wish I had had a physical copy when reading it because I'm sure they would have had a bigger effect on me that way. Some lines connected with me more than others but overall I think the book is relatable to anyone who lived through 2020 and is upset about the state of the world.
