This anthology is multilayered with tons of greatness. The characters are relatable and the short stories are just as awesome as the author's full length novels!

The stories in the collection are great! They suck you in and make you wish that they would continue. My son and I listened to them on our morning commute to school and each day we wished they were longer!

I recommend any person to read this story. It’s a book about teens and young adults thinking’s that there aren’t black enough for this world, for this earth. Different people tell their perspectives on being black in the society. If you feel you aren’t the person you are meant to be you should read this book and feed yourself with encouragement.

Great Story!!!
