The caucasity! Black girl leads in YA are new? To whom? We need white love interests to make white people feel comfortable reading Black stories. Black love interests make them uncomfortable.

The fµck!ng nerve. How about we let black authors do whatever the eff they want with their stories!

If you’re uncomfortable then stay uncomfortable. Black people aren’t born to make yts or any other group feel comfortable. Thaaaa fµck.

The entitlement! There are MILLIONS of books with white love interest she can read instead of harassing the black author. FOH

Disgusting.

I take extra offense since Black love, and ESPECIALLY Black queer love, is nonexistent apparently, let the media tell it!

My first screenplay, I intentionally made 2 BLACK girls fall in love. And that will stay. I'd love to DARE anyone tell me to do anything about it. White supremacy is a fµck!ng kiii.

Sounds like some fonts on here tbh. I was minding my business in a thread about fine chocolate and bihs came in there calling me names for finding a BM attractive.

Wow. The nerve. White people stay white peopleing. They can't help themselves. I guess Black people can't write stories for ourselves and what we relate to.

It's a cardinal sin around these parts for a Black woman to find a Black man attractive or having good Black men in their lives.

Black love is a revolutionary act
Black love is feared and hated
Black love is beautiful
More of these hetero/queer black love stories please!

Just white people again saying they can't even relate to black people/ black lives. Think about how black people empathize with them, call them family, police each other over them.

I am grateful to writers that write black love interests for black characters. I do not read interracial books. I want to see black love in the books I read

Honestly this post makes me want to pick up her book even more. I just assumed the romance would be interracial since a lot of black YA romances are but knowing that the love interest is black is really exciting! This book was already on my TBR now I’ll probably be picking it up sooner then I thought!

You might wanna library request it. It wasn't that good. And the Black love interest basically codes white. In fact a lot of people mistakenly thought she was white. It's one of those settings where race is not factor in the world and the only description you get of the love interest is red hair and fawn skinned.

Awww that sucks the premise sounded pretty interesting. What made it not that great? And the love interest is supposed to be black and she has red hair................

It took a very white feminist approach to feminism where all the men were bad but like one was a side character who was basically only there briefly to say this book had a gay male side character. I never really got that most people believed strongly in this story outside of the monarchy. And the women are oppressed by only our lead Sophia wants to do anything about it. Every other woman just takes abuse from their husbands and other men with a "Them's the breaks!' attitude and slunk along miserably. They marketed it as Black girl magic yet there was nothing culturally Black about this book. And I could only recall one brief mention of the mc's race. The story also just kind of coasted along.
