This week I read:
A woman with synesthesia – she sees colors when people speak, each with their own distinctive shades and patterns – returns home 13 years after her boyfriend and his family disappeared to take care of her aging grandmother and autistic brother. But not everybody is happy that she’s back.
This one has mixed reviews, and I’ll admit that it wasn’t without its faults, but it held my attention and I enjoyed reading it. I found it fast paced and suspenseful.
This book packs a punch! A successful black student with an Ivy League future starts writing letters to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a way to work through his feelings after suffering an injustice due to racial profiling. Despite his efforts to learn wisdom from Luther’s teachings, the MC struggles to make sense of a reality that gets progressively more confusing and hostile. A raw, insightful look into how it feels when you’re judged by the color of your skin and not your actions.
