THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNING AUTHORA TIME MAGAZINE TOP 10 NOVEL OF 2016 | SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2016 FROM THE WINNER OF THE ASTRID LINDGREN MEMORIAL AWARD 2018They used to be inseparable. They used to be young, brave and brilliant - amazingly beautiful and terrifyingly alone. August, Sylvia, Angela and Gigi shared everything: songs, secrets, fears and dreams. But 1970s Brooklyn was also a dangerous place, where grown men reached for innocent girls, where mothers disappeared and futures vanished at the turn of a street corner.Another Brooklyn is a heartbreaking and exquisitely written novel about a fleeting friendship that united four young lives, from one of our most gifted novelists.

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.
