Another Brooklyn by Jacqueline WoodsonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This story is a haunting look at the lives of four young women in New York City in the 70's. The lyric writing style is beautiful but at times very confusing. I know this book has many glowing reviews, but for me the writing style with short choppy thoughts and sentences and rapid switching from different time periods made it hard to follow. I wanted to know more of what August, the main character, was thinking and feeling. The author left so many thoughts incomplete, as a reader I was confused and had so many questions.
