alomie 's review for:

Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson
2.5
emotional reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Enjoyed this however I am unsure that this is a particularly inspiring book it did not feel groundbreaking and I felt leant heavily on tropes that perhaps are a little out dated.

I'm not entirely sure I understood the need for this book or what I got from it.
