The praise on the cover of this novel by Tommy Orange is spot-on; every page of this book is remarkable. Leila Mottley’s writing is dense but lyrical. I was completely engrossed. Kiara seemingly occupied two different worlds but still wholly herself, someone who protects, provides, and loves as best she can. She is enough— for herself, Trevor, Marcus, Alé— even though she worries she isn’t. I could have read hundreds more pages. I will be waiting for anything Leila Mottley writes next.
