Piecing Me Together By Renèe Watson

                     
           One of the books I read this summer was Piecing Me Together by Renèe Watson. This is by far one of the best books I have ever read. (I am now tempted to read it a second time!😆) This story is about a teenager named Jade who lives in the "dangerous" part of Portland Oregon. She has a scholarship to a not so diverse private school. And in her community, there are not many opportunities. So when an opportunity comes her way, she makes sure she takes advantage of it. However one of the opportunities she comes across is not that helpful. It's a mentorship program for non-priveleged girls. Jade feels misunderstood from her mentor Maxine because she feels that Maxine doesn't know what it's like to not have a lot of opportunities.
            I recommend this book to people who like complex characters. However, this book does not come out until February 14, 2017. (Sorry to keep you at the edge of your seats. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy!) But be on the look out for this book in bookstores!
