A must-read for anyone interested in social justice. ‘Blonde Roots’ offers a fresh perspective on a difficult topic. Some scenes were hard to stomach, but necessary.

I appreciate the author’s attempt to tackle such a sensitive subject, but I didn’t find the story particularly compelling. It felt a bit heavy-handed.

While the premise is interesting, the story felt underdeveloped. I wanted more depth and nuance. The writing was decent, but nothing special.

This book really made me uncomfortable, in a good way. It flips the script on history and forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about power. Highly recommended.

Intriguing concept, but the execution felt lacking. The world-building was interesting, but the characters weren’t very engaging. A decent read overall.

This book challenges your preconceptions and makes you question everything you thought you knew about race. A bit slow in places, but impactful.
