The writing style of this book is lyrical and poetic. Beautiful! August moves from TN to Brooklyn with her father and brother in the 70s when she is about 8. She meets three other girls who become her best friends and we see Brooklyn in the 70s, but what we really see is 4 girls in the 70s as teens and on the cusp of adulthood. When they move to NY she keeps telling her brother their mom is coming "tomorrow." As the book progresses we are told in the short poetic prose style her mom's story. It is sad and haunting. The beauty of this book is not just the story but the writing style.
