Resistance

The Shorts, Book 9

By: Nia Forrester

Narrated by: Olu Ayo, Jynelle Brown

Kai is an accidental activist, drawn to protest only because the alternative—to not protest—feels unimaginable in a turbulent time like this. And Lila is a longtime social justice warrior. At least in theory. Trying to find their footing and independent voices in the middle of a new movement, they just might find something else—a new love.

Really Cute

I feel that this book was really cute, but wish it was a little bit longer. It felt like the story was truly beginning where the story actually ended. However, I liked it overall.

Because They Won’t Know

This is a YA book because as we begin to educate teens about George Floyd, we need to help young people understand the moment. Yes it is a romance. But, more importantly, it is a story about the struggles towards visualizing each of us as our divine original.

When the narrators kill the story

These are obviously NOVICE narrators. The pauses, emphasis on certain words, and cadence was so off it took me out the story. It’s true that a narrator can ruin your listening experience. So sad for the author; all that work is lost in a terrible read.
