The Story of my Anger is a perfect firestorm of a story. Yuli and her anger and her community and the love around her were all so wonderful and, especially in the current sociopolitical climate, is so incredibly important. I love seeing stories where Black girls are allowed the space to be angry and have fire inside them, as well as space to fall apart and be held together by those who love them. There are so many fantastic references to other important literature, and I cannot wait to try some of the stories and books mentioned. This was a book I couldn’t put down, and I can’t wait for it to find people and be a spark of change and hope.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the lupus representation, because my mom also has lupus and the way it is described in the book, is also how my mom describes having it. I also. really loved how the writing of this book is described as being written in verse. Which, yes, it is, but it's also written as a script. And as the author states in the beginning of this novel, you cannot skip over those lines or parts. Every little bit is vital to the story.

I look forward to the release of this book! And I will definitely be recommending this book to my peers and community.
