The pacing of this book almost drove me nuts it felt like everything took to long to develop. It was a beautiful look at a moment in time, a reflection of Black success and resilience. But it is still very much a YA story where the entire crux of the plot is, I don’t want to disappoint my parents and I personally don’t enjoy that particular theme. But what will the Davenport siblings do next and what is in story for them was enough to make me endure this story and will have me moving on to the next.
