I was a teenager when Tupac was shot, and this book put me back in a very specific timeframe while reading it.

The friendship between the three girls felt so real. I love how Woodson used Tupac's music and life as a timeline of sorts for the girls.

Another beautifully written book by this author. 💚

This was my first book that finished ! 2020 LETS GOOO!! 🍾 I really liked this book. I don‘t usually read fiction but this was nice. I do kind of wish it was longer and had like a plot twist to it maybe with like some kind of major secrecy.... Idk.. it was good. THUMBS UP 👍🏼

My first read of 2018! I'm becoming quite the fan of Jacqueline Woodson's work, and in 2018 I want to add more of her novels to my library. I enjoy reading her style of writing!

After Tupac and D Foster is a great novel! I love how Woodson connected the life of Tupac and his music to the growing friendship of three girls in Queens. It was quite the play on fiction! This was a short story but each character was well developed.
