Welcome to Litsy!

This book didn‘t work. While the title promises a focus on IU during a period of integration, the book instead focuses on the author as a freshman, spending more time on her haphazard love life than any encountered racism.
The dialogue is stilted and VERY obviously recreated. The writing in general is bad and all of the characters fell flat on the page. Simply not worth the time to read. ⭐️ #netgalley

Meri Henriques is a freshman from NY when she arrives on campus at Indiana University in 1963. She is shocked to witness the rampant racism, as she becomes part of the first class to live in integrated dorms.

Meri is forced to confront whether she wants to lay low in order to try and receive a scholarship to stay in school, or stand up for what she believes in.
