A review by bookreviewswithkb
Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi

dark mysterious medium-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.5

what does the revolution look like? what will it take to rid our society of oppression and racism in all its forms? is violence a necessary part of the equation? these are the questions Bitter grapples with in this beautiful young adult novel. i enjoyed reading it and the writing is spectacular as per usual for Emezi 

but i wish Emezi had left more room for the reader to try to determine for themselves the questions around the role of violence in revolution

it is good, but it’s not amazing
