pickThis is a really beautiful novel about Crimson (CeCe) and her relationship with her mother, incapacitated by severe depression since her childhood. Some of the brief chapters could stand alone as short stories, and those moments left me breathless. Other times, the "now" plot felt like it dragged a bit compared to the "past". Over all, definitely worth a look.

Just reorganized my shelves today, so perfect time for a shot! More pix of my colors: https://rachelmans.wordpress.com/2017/07/17/shelfies/
pickThis is about a woman named CeCe (a nickname for Crimson) and tells about her traumatic childhood with a mentally ill mother. As an adult, she needs to decide if she wants to remain codependent with her mother going forward. I wasn't totally satisfied with the ending, but there was enough good to bump this up to "pick". Looking for diverse reads--this is by a Black woman and about Black women.
