Recenzje

PRAISE FOR IN EVERY MIRROR SHE'S BLACK:
'A sharply written story with messy, deeply moving characters, raising brutal questions and steering clear of easy answers. A book that will stick with you long after you've turned the last page' Taylor Jenkins Reid, bestselling author of Daisy Jones and the Six.
'These characters will pull at your heartstrings. Lola writes with a contemporary flair, highlighting the layered subtleties of the Black woman's plight' Nicole Dennis-Benn, bestselling author of novels Here Comes the Sun and Patsy.
'A sexy, surprising, searing debut about love, loss, desire, and the many dimensions of Black womanhood. Timely and terrific!' Deesha Philyaw, award-winning author of The Secret Life of Church Ladies.
'This is a very different and unpredictable portrayal of Black women's search for love and self, and it's pure magic' Kim Golden, author ofMaybe Baby.
'At once enjoyable and disturbing as it explores the painful price millions of women around the world pay for walking around with black skin' Imbolo Mbue, New York Times-bestselling author of Behold the Dreamers
