I liked the characters, and I enjoyed joining them on their ride through the story, no pun intended.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I found a decent number of errors while reading\u00a0<em>WYDW,<\/em> which for me is a turn off and instantly drops a review score down a point. There is no indication that my copy is an ARC, so I don&#8217;t\u00a0<em>think<\/em> there will be additional edits before it&#8217;s re-published. With that said, I think\u00a0<em>WYDW<\/em>\u00a0could use another look-over by a copy-editor.<\/p>\n<p>I feel a little odd writing this, as the author is African-American, but a few of the characters, especially Mom and Pops, felt a little stereotypical to me. However, that may just be because I&#8217;m an outsider to the culture. I grew up in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood and am well aware that some stereotypes can be true.<\/p>\n<p><em>WYDW<\/em> is certainly worth a read if you&#8217;re looking for a short, feel-good story. You can just relax and giggle at the shenanigans the characters get into.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\">\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1039\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/tamoorman.jpg?resize=169%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"T.A.

Going to your child\u2019s PTA meetings in full Gothic, especially industrial, regalia is pretty much frowned upon. Especially by your own children, and your teens would die of a heart attack. But, one should not have to completely stop being themselves, uniqueness is greatness. All of that darkness is put into the words in her books, and designs in her jewelry sold in her GothicMoms DarkCharms shop.<\/p>\n<p>Single mother of five beautiful children, but by far more than just that. T. A. Moorman is an artist, a former violinist, a seamstress, a crafter, a writer, a blogger, a reviewer, a dark confidant and a darkly dangerous, fiercely protective friend. And currently broke, so go buy something of hers.
