Hello all. I’m a 29 year old aspiring author. I’ve been working on what I would consider an engaging novel featuring a self-serving, ambitious 19 year old as my lead. She navigates relationships with both men and her 2 sisters while recalling the unconventional teachings of her late mother who she mirrors. Urban fiction. Right at 20,000 words. 6 chapters so far. Looking for some feedback and critique before I get too deep into the story. If it’s trash, I don’t want to bother finishing it.
I remember reading a book years ago about a young woman going to school in New Haven and having a brother who became unwell after like peeing on an MTA rail (sorry for like the TMI).
Im remembering their dad being a professor.
I'm just trying to remember the name of the book and cannot for the life of me.
Does anyone know what this book is called?

A very realistic read into family dynamics written in the 21st century, as the characters uncover their own truths. But with such a hearty southern twang, it beautifully weaves together themes of rediscovery, purpose, sisterhood and the strength of forgiveness. Super warming 8/10
Hey y’all! I just finished listening to this book on audible and I really enjoyed it. I normally read books about Black people but this book somehow made its way into my list. I’m looking to read more just like this with similar familial themes. Does anyone have any recommendations? It doesn’t have to be exactly like this book, just something about family dynamics that aren’t based around trauma (I can’t do trauma porn). Thanks in advance!
Has anyone else read this incredible book... I would love to hear your thoughts if so
Picked it up and couldn’t put it back down until I finished it. Such a wholesome read ~ sisterhood and the collective love for books as the characters navigate through their own challenges. 10/10

Eli doesn’t know who he is or who he came from. Three years ago, he was found by his now-best friends, Sunny and Max, who gave him a home in a magical sanctuary doubling as a Caribbean restaurant. What Eli does know is that he can heal a wound with just a touch and pluck magic from a soul like a petal from a flower—and there is nothing he wouldn’t do to survive and keep his new family together.
Malcolm would do anything to forget where he comes from. Desperate to escape his estranged father’s shadow and plagued with an inherited death magic he doesn’t fully understand, Malcolm has just one priority: save his mother, no matter the cost.
Malcolm and Eli’s paths collide when Eli and his friends are sent to track down the fang of the leopard god Osebo, a deadly weapon that can eat magic. In a job filled with enigmatic nine nights and Caribbean legends, the teens must face their own demons as they race through the magical underbelly of London to retrieve the fang…before an ancient and malevolent power comes back to life.
Loved this book. I decided to take a little break from my usual Black romance novels. It’s a thriller. I was on edge right from the beginning. It was a wild ride and I really recommend it.

What's up everybody! Joined this subreddit not too long ago!
One of my newly current reads is 'The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississppi'. Spoiler alert: It's about the lynching of Emmett Till (hence the NSFW tag, just in case).
I know this case is extremely sensitive within AND outside of our community; however, I just wanted to know if anyone else is currently reading along or plan to?
What's the most profound monologue you have read/listened to in a book?
Why?
