Book: Our Gen
Author: Diane Mckinney-Whetstone
By: Cece Hymes
This book was pretty good. It was about 3 Ladies Tish, Cynthia, and Lavia. They all had a past that they were not trying to share. They wanted to keep their secrets but still found themselves boding like sisterhood. Cynthia moved to the Gen she didn’t want to give up her old house and start somewhere new but she did for her family. Tish changed her name because of the embarrassment she heard about her dad. Tavia was holding back her culture and where she was from.
These 3 ladies became friends. They meet up regularly and smoke, line dance and debate on things. The gen in where they live becomes the catalyst for secrets to be exposed. They also had a friend Bloc which also had deep secrets that he needed to share. Bloc was into Tish and Cynthia. When he looked at Cynthia it was different. It was like she reminded him of ways like his mom for him to come out and tell the truth. He just wanted to be honest with her.
It was crazy that Cynthia’s past can be relatable to Trish’s past, and they don’t even know. They all help each other in different ways to share their secrets so that they can deal with them. It’s nothing like finding great friends and having a bond. Friends can have bad times, happy times, sad times and fun times. It shows all that with these groups of friends.
