Book 71.
This post has been edited to include the edit I added to my original review after being educated to the fact of something I had questioned about the reading.
These Toxic Things by Rachel Howzell Hall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Old ladies keep the best secrets and the most horrible ones."- p. 413.
Well that was a trip.
I was supposed to read this as a buddy read. We have changed up our discussion style a bit. Then I went and read three groups in one session whoops. However I had to know. It gets that much.
Um style complaint- why is Black capitalized the entire time for skin color???
Edit: this has been explained to me since. I understand a bit better now this was my first instance of seeing it in my reading I guess. It's for acknowledgement as a social collective identity along the likes of Jews, Asians, Hispanics etc.
The rest I was like whoa wait a second what?? Serial killer up in HERE. Then side story about Mickie's own family history! Shock and awe.
All in all it was quite interesting and I enjoyed it pretty much. Some parts got a little daunting to read and I was kind of like just get to the point already.
Most of the people in her life putting the T in Toxic. Stay safe, recover and stay away from men for awhile my girl.

Black is becoming more and more capitalized because it can make people feel less than if you consider we capitalize Asian, Hispanic, Jewish, etc etc.
