Upstate

Has anyone read UPSTATE by Kalisha Buckhanon? Wow. It was incredibly. It’s extremely difficult to pull off the epistolatory format without it beginning to feel tedious and she does an amazing job with it. She seemed to make every word count and evoke such emotion and desperation and intensity. All the way around, the book was done very, very well.

She was mentored by Sapphire and I definitely thought about PUSH when reading it. Both books tell these heart-wrenching but real stories through a unique, creative ingenuity.

Don't you just love a good book?
