 Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by Joya Goffney

Rating: 3.5/5

This book was a little below my reading level, but I found it to be a interesting book overall. Featuring a African-American girl who has trouble standing up to her friends about their racism, she conceals all her feelings and identity into a journal through the form of lists. I really liked the aspect of the lists throughout the book because it was a different approach to showcasing who the character was, and how she changed over time. I thought it was a easy book to read and enjoyed it.
