Hair Read: Unbeweaveable



If you follow me on Twitter, you already know I was reading Unbeweaveable by Katrina Spencer. Well let me just tell you, when a book is great it commands all my attention and I have to just keep reading and reading until I finish it. Unbeweaveable was a super quick read for me because I just couldn't put the book down. Without giving too much away, the main character Mariah Stevens draws all her confidence, take-charge attitude, and drive from her weave but when her world comes crumbling down and she's forced to remove her $1000+ weave and return home to her bi-racial sister and light-skinned mother who both have long "good" hair. The problem? Mariah is very dark skinned and has short coarse hair so all her life she grew up with insecurities and once she discovers a family secret it really rips open old wounds, but Mariah is determined to discover the truth. Beside the questionable title, Unbeweaveable goes way deeper than hair exploring family dynamics, love, and loyalty.
