Marina Katague’s Reviews > A Good Neighborhood > Status Update

The author is a white lady who set out to write a suburban tale about race relations and I'm not loving it. The writing is irritating too. It's a lot of dialogue that people would not naturally be having. Like, here I am at the neighborhood's book club, time to expose my childhood trauma, and have other people respond with theirs too. Weird dialogue, and then a looming foreshadowy sentence at the end of each chapter.
