​Black Girls Must Be Magic by Jayne Allen

Review by

Voncille Wratee

​Black Girls Must Be Magic is the sequel to Black Girls Must Be Exhausted and part of a trilogy with the third book being Black Girls Must Have It All. The book can definitely stand alone but I would recommend starting with the first so that the story can have the first book as case history. We meet Tabitha at a crossroad in her life where she makes a major decision about becoming a mother and with life's twists and turns it is definitely not how she planned or expected. Tabitha learns so much about herself in this book that it will have you reevaluating your life, "Like hey! Wait a minute! I think I would like..." This book tackles issues faced in the African American community such as single parenthood, various relationships, inner strength and faith and making sure your voice is heard and acknowledged. After reading this book, you may want to become a rule challenger.​
