Got some new content for yal up over #ontheblog. I reviewed “deep condition” by Elle Jeffries @ellewrites_ 👀 • • “This book read like jazz — in fact, I’m listening to John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme right now to stay in the spirit of the novel as I write. Interestingly, Elle’s main character and narrator, Nia, is a writer, and the two of them have a deeply poetic sensibility in the way that they use words. Our author has created a character who is deeply fractured, yet has put the pieces together just so; we are able to see Nia’s infinite potential if she were to commit to doing the work to become whole herself.” • • I was excited to read this book. I’ve been enamored with the title since I first heard about it, and Elle was kind enough to send me a copy to read. It’s a phenomenal story with such strong writing. I’m looking forward to dropping our companion interview about her writing process & journey to publishing this book next week! Also, can we talk about this cover art? It’s gorgeous. 📚 #literaryblackgirl #litblkgrl #blackgirlsread #wellreadblackgirl #blackstories #literacy #reading #deepcondition https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHvYN4nh8v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19hbdb0oziotq
