If you like memoirs and reading or listening to others stories who live in their own truth… Read this book!

Anyone who can bridge verse and prose gets all the stars from me! This is an Acevedo Stan page! Chileeeeee clap when you land did not come to play!

Hey, y’all! I’m coming to you with a sure-fire review of the beautiful work that is All Boys Aren’t Blue.

What was the last book you read that stuck with you? I don’t think there is anything I can say to add to how necessary this book is.

In my search for books outside of my own culture I ran into this one! Did I like it?…yes… Was it my favorite?… Nope. I have sat on this review for a minute because I wanted to give y’all a true and honest review!

This book! This book! This book! When you read this book you are going to question whether or not this is really someone’s life. It’s shocking, heartbreaking, inspiring, and jaw dropping! Patricia Williams told her truth and did not leave anything out!

The confessions of Frannie Langton told the story of Frannie Langton, a Jamaican slave who is accused of murdering her employers, George Benham and Marguerite. i was most interested in the differences between the ways slaves in Jamaica were treated in comparison to those in America but this book gave me so much more.

This book gets all the stars. Echo Brown, a young girl turned woman, spins this tale through remarkable story telling. At times my heart brok because she had to resort to making things magical to provide comfort in her own misfortunes. This book covers several hard topics: racism, sexuality, abuse, and gender identitifcation.
