"Being a Black girl & a Black girl baller is a whole set of rules
you never see coming
Know the rules
So you know which ones you need to break"

Chlorine Sky was one of the first novels I’ve read in verse and I enjoyed different format for the narrative. Sky is a character I’m sure many people could relate to; growing up discovering who you are, growing out of friendships, first real heartbreak, and finding your voice. Chlorine Sky is a short but impactful read. I liked how Sky’s name wasn’t revealed until the end. Browne writes in a straightforward and impactful way.
