Over My Dead Body by Sweeney Boo

3.0

I’m actually gonna give this a 3.5. I thought the witchy vibes were pretty good and I did love the plot twist but I feel Ms.Good made no damn sense with her reasoning of turning her best friend into a monster. If she was considered family to you wouldn’t you be supporting every decision they make? Maybe I’m crazy but it just a stupid reasoning in my opinion. i found Noreen’s sympathy for Karla so sudden and weird considering what she had went through which was NOT pretty. However I do appreciate it because what Karla was trying to do should not have gotten her shunned. There is nothing wrong with finding who you are and where you from and I kinda wish this story went more in depth with that concept. I find it interesting that a lot of the witches don’t know their past which I think is worth learning more about in this story and could have been possible to discuss the idea of black people not knowing their history because of black American’s being moved in different countries cause of slavery. It’s a real issue and something that I struggled with for awhile and with Karla being black it would have tied together well in my opinion.
