Heaven, Book 1 I Picked Up This Book Because: Picked up from the library for a Black History Month Readathon. The Characters: Marley: Moms, Pops, Butchy, Uncle Jack The Story: I didn’t understand what was going on in this book, so much so that I skipped from page 86 to the last chapter in the bo...
I read this entire book without putting it down once. I know the book is only 130 pages, so that doesn’t sound impressive, but I don’t think I’ve read a book in one sitting since The Hunger Games came out. This is going to be a short review.

With only 132 pages, this book is about reality, it spoke my song and although it was not a complicated story, its message was clear.
