About the book

A New York Times Bestseller
A #1 Indie Next Pick
A National Book Award-winning AuthorRunning into a long-ago friend sets memory from the 1970s in motion for August, transporting her to a time and a place where friendship was everything -- until it wasn't. For August and her girls, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful, talented, brilliant -- a part of a future that belonged to them.But beneath the hopeful veneer, there was another Brooklyn, a dangerous place where grown men reached for innocent girls in dark hallways, where ghosts haunted the night, where mothers disappeared. A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion.

    I’ve finally been introduced to the lyrical prose of Jacqueline Woodson. This narrative was a whole lot sadder than I expected, but enchanting nevertheless. I’m gobsmacked how many themes can fit in so few pages and still feel respectfully handled. CW (+spoilers): suicide, teenage pregnancies, minor character death, objectification of young Black women, mental health struggles and therapy

    Loved the writing, but the execution fell short for me. I think this book was too short to really reach the full potential... and this comes from the person that constantly complains about the lack of editing in novels.
