"Just wow! This is by far my favorite book this year( I know we’re just a few days in) The author, Sister Souljah, crafts the harsh realities of a fall from grace that teaches the main character, Winter, about resilience. I love how the writer never lost sight of making the story engaging with each page! I never grew honored. I am officially a fan of Sister Souljah!"
"I reread this for the second time. The first time was in high school and the change in perspective was mind blowing. It’s a pioneer in its genre and a must read imo "
