Funnily enough, the author of BATR is a playwright! While I didnt like my first read of it, I think that (with a lot of tweaking) it would be a great show! Thanks for your review! 👙
Man, I've heard such bad reviews on One of Our Kind! Specifically what you said that it doesn't sound like a book written by a Black author. I think I'm gonna just stick to her YA backlist. Haven't heard good things about Blood at the Root either lol
I am currently listening to One of Our Kind and I'll probably DNF it for many of the same reasons you mentioned. This disappointed me in the same way that The Other Black Girl did. I know people rave about her other books so maybe I'll give her another chance.
Ahh I own a copy of The Other Black Girl but haven’t had the urge to pick it up after hearing some of the reviews. Your comparison doesn’t help it’s case lol. I’ve read Nicola Yoon’s YA and really enjoyed them, so would say give those a chance, but One of Our King was definitely disappointing.
