This book wasn’t for me. The characters, the dialogue, and the overall everythingness just didn’t work for me. While I don’t know Amma’s race, due to the southern backdrop, she gave those magical negro teas. Perhaps, this book/series wasn’t cliché for its time, but the flat mean girls, Lena’s specialness, and the fact hoes legit mad if someone likes reading lowered my enjoyment.

The artwork is fine though very sketchy. It can appear unfinished and very flat emotionally, at times.
