Black Girls Must Die Exhausted

Quelle lecture agréable! C’est la première fois que je prends autant de plaisir à lire de la chick-lit / litterature contemporaine où une femme noire (les Noirs en general) sont mis a l’honneur! Tabitha a tout pour lui rendre heureuse sauf qu’au dernier moment , on lui annonce qu’elle n’a que 6 mois pour avoir un enfant sinon tout espoir d’avoir une famille sera jeté aux oubliettes! J’ai aimé le lien fort qu’elle a avec ses meilleures amies Laila et Alexis. L’autrice a montré à quel point des amitiés authentiques et saines n’apportent que de bonnes choses et aident à grandir en tant que personne! J’ai aussi aimé la façon dont Jayne peint la réalité des Noirs. Le seul personnage que je n’ai pas aimé show more dans le livre est Marc bien sûr, vous verrez pourquoi en lisant le livre. En même temps, malgré les 5 étoiles, je pense que la situation entre Tabitha et Marc aurait pu être gérée autrement.
JE RECOMMANDE CE LIVRE A 11000%. Il y a le livre 2 : Black girls must be magic que j'espère lire dans un futur qui n’est pas du touuut trop loin! show less

This was a beautiful journey of love, friendship, and loss - challenges we face with everyday life, while adding the challenges faced by being of color and facing prejudices and segregation throughout generations.

Tabatha Walker has a lot of challenges added to her plate, and despite having many moments of self-doubt, learns to navigate the ebb and flow of life and all its many bumps in the road. There will be moments that grip your heart tightly and moments where you want to shake her and tell her she's stronger than she thinks.

An amazing journey that opens your eyes to everyday relationships and makes you reflect on your own connections with loved ones.

Aww, this book had me feeling so many emotions. The characters were developed well and you felt connected to them and the struggles they were facing. I am very much looking forward to reading the next two books in this series.

Black Girls Must Die Exhausted is a joyful and engaging read. The characters are warm, intelligent, endearing, and at times amusing. You will enjoy reading about the multi-generational and blended family connections, romances, and life-long friendships.

These six brilliant women move through the seasons of life with finesse, purpose, and they rarely miss a beat. The difficulties and issues are real, and the challenges are sometimes harsh. You will feel many emotions as you witness their love, sadness, grief, confusion, and growth. The strong and spirited personalities will draw you into their world and have you cheering. The newsroom and salon scenes were perfectly executed. You will celebrate their triumphs and laugh out loud, but you show more will not forget these amazing women show less

I received a copy of this book through the Goodreads Giveaways program in exchange for an honest review.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! this book - can't recommend enough. Such a topical story dealing with women's issues (think fertility, workplace politics, relationships, personal identity) and particularly how those issues can be even more complex based on one's racial identity.

Looking forward to sharing with friends and family!

3.5 I like it. Everything going on shows how she’s just so exhausted. Every time you turn around, it’s something new. But she always repeats!! At first, ok you’re really bothered but she kept going and I’m like dang girl. We get the point. You don’t have to keep repeating for us to know it bothers you. We got it.

I Picked Up This Book Because: The title

The Characters:

Tabitha Walker:
Joe Morelli:
Granma Tabitha, Marc, Laila, Alexis

The Story:

I.Am.Bored. I have been bored since I started this book back in February. It’s not that the writing is bad it’s just slow. Nothing is happening and when something does happen we have to dwell on it and repeat it a thousand times before we can move on. I can’t stay invested in Tabitha’s journey. I did skip to the end and read the last chapter and the epilogue and I feel like Tab got a peaceful ending if not a traditional HEA and I’m okay knowing just that.

I do feel bad for DNF-ing this book because I wanted to love it but my love stopped at the front cover. Seriously show more it’s beautiful and I’d hang it on my wall.

The Random Thoughts:

*DNF so no rating show less
