If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin
4.0
emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes


Wow this was an amazing love story with so much heartache. It amazes me that this book was written almost 50 years ago and it's still so timely. It breaks my heart that the racism that Fonny experienced still happens today. I love how strong Tish was and determined to get Fonny out for a crime he did not commit.
