Nobody's Magic by Destiny O. Birdsong
4.0
This book was a bit interesting it featured 3 separate stories following three different characters Suzette, Maple, and Agnes. I think I would’ve enjoyed the book more had it been focused on one character.
I enjoyed “Drive” the most because Suzette was kind of feisty yet filled with so much curiosity. But I’d question everything too if I were sheltered most of my life. Her parents were controlling especially the father. He used gifts as a form of persuasion. If it weren’t for those on the outside looking in Suzette probably would’ve never peeped game. Eventually she wanted and needed more freedom and independence than her parents would allow. Experiencing things you’ve never seen or done before will do that to you. Now her mama threw me for a loop when she flipped out about that car. Cause ma’am we were just cool where is this animosity coming from.
“Bottled Water” was also okay I liked Maple’s character. After her mother was murdered and her judgmental grandmother started tripping. Maple needed to get away from it all. Dealing with her mother’s unsolved murder and the constant reminder of who her mother was. How could she really grieve? In the midst of trying to find her way she met a guy who helped her come to terms with her grief. But I think they kind of helped each other.
“Mind the Prompt” can’t really say I liked this story much. It was just something about it that I didn’t connect with and it fell a bit flat. Agnes and the decisions she made were very questionable.
Overall, I liked enjoyed it so I recommend!!!
