Why Do I Want To Read This?
It’s not everyday that you come across a story such as this, so of course I wanted it as soon as I read the description. What book(s) are you waiting on this week?

I’m not sure about this book yet and the synopsis did not leave me convinced. But it does give me the inkling that culture is going to come into this one quite a bit, and that really is a topic I am interested in so I will admit it has me a bit curious. I think I want to see what you will think of this one first?

It is rather vague, isn’t it? But I guess the “white girl with a black family” is enough. I hope that it’s good!
