*A Black Girl In The Middle* is a light-hearted yet profound coming-of-age story that delves into the journey of maturing into self-love and embracing a no-nonsense approach to life. It serves as a humbling reminder of our mortality, emphasizing the importance of cherishing the time we have by learning to love ourselves, even when others can't love us for who we are. This narrative resonates deeply with Caribbean women and is relatable to women of all ages and backgrounds. The narrator for the Audible version is particularly captivating, adding an extra layer of warmth and authenticity to the story.

You ever heard poetry that just spoke to your innermost senses, reminded you of your youth and tickled your imagination. Poet X does that so intuitively with every chapter read so eloquently and in cadence with the New York City beat. As a poet, I am thoroughly impressed and enamored by the way author Elizabeth Acevédo delivers each line with such clarity and emotion. A great listen on a long train ride or even with your pre-teen kids to prompt conversations. This outstanding novel elevates the mind and awakens the child-like spirit in us all. I applaud you, Poet X!

We need more narratives that prove that when couples of color are determined to make things work, regardless of their challenges, that we too can have our own happy ending. This was encouraging, inspiring, and entertaining. Wishing these two much success in life.

A bit self-righteous, long-winded and standoffish but a reality check for those toiling with the idea of their impermanence.

I fully enjoyed diving deep in this journey with Alexander Elle. Truly a resilient author and she touched my heart with the experiences of those who heal proudly and have shown up for themselves in various seasons of their life.

Trevor Noah pulls your heart strings and makes you feel a myriad of emotions as he shares his unique story. His relationship with his mom is at the heart of it all. The story is a bit all over the place; nevertheless does end with a bang.
