The Black Girls Left Standing by Juliana Goodman
5.0

 Thanks to Netgalley I was given the opportunity to read (hear) an advanced audio copy of this gem of a novel.

If you loved THUG you'll love this heartbreakingly beautiful novel about lose. This gem of a novel follows Beau's (a 16 year old student and artist who happens to be black) journey of finding out what really happened the night her older sister Kitia was murdered by an off duty (white) police officer. This story broke my heart in so many ways, it's was beautifully written and is one of my favourite novels of the year.

This story is extremely important, especially with all the hate and racism that is still a very real part of society.
