Doret, So many people keep saying they can't find PoC teen books. Yet you and I actively seek them out and we keep finding titles the other hasn't seen.
I appreciated this post!
I heard about Yummy maybe 6 months ago and just reading about it gave me chills. I haven't heard of Dotty. Thanks for always bringing great books out front and center.
Thanks Edi, I do believe this will be my first offical feature, and it only took two years.
Jeannine - I love me some Dotty, will be reviewing soon.
