A review by marsiedotes
Watch Us Rise by Ellen Hagan, Renée Watson
medium-paced
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I enjoyed the poetry and art in the book as well as the female artists/writers featured. I preferred Jasmine's voice more than Chelsea's, as I felt Chelsea seemed somewhat self-centered and focused on more superficial issues. I did appreciate that she grew to have a more intersectional approach towards the end of the book.
