Trade Review
"An expansive, decades-spanning view of Black girlhood.... The collection is genuinely riveting; the stories narrate the lives of indelible characters with humor, irony, and immense skill. And while each story differs greatly in setting and tone, through lines arise... A profound, prismatic collection." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
