Jacqueline Woodson’s writing begs to be simultaneously devoured and savored. She portrays 1970s Brooklyn as both gritty and ethereal, a place where a group of four friends tenderly make their way toward womanhood as they pull against the expectations of their surroundings. The girls deal heartbreakingly with loss, growth, betrayal, and the power of memory in this masterful work.
