Review:

2.5 ⭐⭐

I have to be very honest, I didn’t care for this story. I see where the author was trying to do with the MC named Jane and having the neighbors named Jane as well. But as the story went on I felt highly bored. For starters it can be a little confusing with the name “Jane” being mentioned a lot and trying to pay attention to who’s who that’s speaking. 

Also towards the middle it was very clear how the story would end, it was very predictable. I felt this story had a lot of potential but I honestly didn’t like how this story was set up. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the writing and just the over all story. I had this book on my TBR for a while and finally took the time now to read it but I was actually let down. But over all it was okay. If you want a quick read that’s predictable maybe you could check this story out.

A Girl Named Rainbow By Krystaelynne Sanders Diggs| #bookreview #netgalley #agirlnamedtainbow

My thoughts/ review:

This is a really cute uplifting children’s book about a little girl named Rainbow and how she one day doesn’t like her name because she keeps getting teased at school. Her mom helps her change her mind about her name and helps her to love the name she was given. This book was done really well I loved illustrations and how colorful and bright they were. I believe this book can help young children with self esteem issues as well as self love. I think young children need more books like this, especially when the media is telling young kids to be and act a certain way instead of learning to love themselves.

Home.Girl.Hood. By Ebony Stewart |#bookreview #netgally #ebonystewart

My thoughts / review:

This is a collection of poetry that is yet powerful but is much needed. Ebony Stewart talked about being a black woman especially an “around the way girl” she spoke about growing up and sex, as well LGBTQ. There was so much the author talked about I felt she was talking to me directly as if we were good friends. Mostly everything I could relate to.

The author spoke from her heart and soul. And I believe as a reader I felt her words. This collection is something I will be re-reading many times over It was that good. Although I feel a lot of black women will understand where the author is coming from and can relate to it the most, just about anyone can read this collection of poetry and get a feel and true understanding of what Ebony Stewart went through and has faced.

Overall I absolutely loved this! *Thank you to Netgally, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read and review this book for my own honest opinion*
