RaveThe Washington PostDebut author Harris wanted to \'show Black girlhood at its best, at its worst, at its most dull and most exciting.\' Her coming-of-age novel about a young Black girl during her first summer away from her parents captures precisely that, without being at all dull. Instead, it’s a sensitive, realistic portrait of a 10-year-old trying to understand her world in the wake of her father’s death.
