What I'm reading
Feb. 9th, 2019 08:11 amThis week I read Calling My Name by Liara Tamani. It was recommended by another author I follow, and on kindle sale, so I grabbed it even though I'd never heard anything about the author.
Slice of life, teenage style. High school rivalries, budding sexuality in an oppressively churchy household. The thing that most engaged me about the character Taja was the creative way she survived demands to pay attention to long church sermons: by tallying the keywords so she looked like she was taking notes. And that's five for hallelujah, lord is closing in with three, four, it's amen for the win!
I felt like this story ended abruptly, though. The main character has an epiphanic moment, I didn't understand what it meant to her, and then whoop, the story's over.
Probably not gonna follow this author.
