The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reed
Did not finish book.
DNF at 66 pages @19%
Thank you Netgalley for the E-Arc in exchange for a review.
I don’t think I am returning back to this book since it’s been four years ( September 18, 2020 ) which I have been going back and forth with myself with it. Especially since it’s Black History Month as well. I had the arc of it which I tried to read some of it and even bought the book which I did get farther in it. I just didn’t like none of the characters but Ashely sister and the maid working for Ashley family. The book felt like The Hate You Give which to me is not a good thing. I know it’s being compared to it but this is something that happened in the early 90's and should have an early 90's feel. Not the only thing that make it feel like early 90's is the music being mention. Also the fact I look up and see the author was 8 when this happen. I wish she was a teenager since this is being told in a 17 year old girl eyes which the main character is supposed to be.
