Black Girls Must Be Magic by Jayne Allen
4.0

This is a gorgeous follow-up to Black Girls Must Die Exhausted that maintains the pace we got to know. We follow Tabby through her sudden pregnancy, discrimination based on her hair, and complicated family dynamics and it all just flies by. Add on her complicated friendship dynamics - like seriously Lexi... Leave Laila alone - and you have a contemporary novel that feels like real life. Jayne Allen leaves us with her near-patented cliffhanger, so I'm desperate for the third installment.

*Thank you to Harper Perennial and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review*
