Cool. Awkward. Black. by Karen Strong

4.5

I thoroughly enjoyed these stories that center nerdy Black teen joy. There were magical book clubs in magical book stores, a family where all the boys turn into werewolves including trans men, a corner booth in a restaurant that turns into a safe place to play an online scrabble game, and a repaired friendship after doing a craft for a school project. Some of these got really deep even though most of the premises were pretty wholesome.
