The Reformatory by Tananarive Due
4.5
challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

WOW! WOW! If you want to read a book to stir up some feelings.. THAT is thee one! The horror literally is how Black males are treated. When I say this book gave me so much anxiety!! And only anxiety bc we know the feelings that surround being Black in this country. Ms. Due did a great job transporting us to the Jim Crow era. Will I read this again? Likely not bc it is HEAVY! But if you have the space for it, I highly recommend
