REDWOOD COURT

by DeLana R.A. Dameron

The books I find myself reviewing as Not My Cup Of Tea tend to be either books I feel a responsibility to read or I know from the beginning may not be my favorite. I really wanted to like Redwood Court  and based on its summary, I should have. Dameron writes a coming-of-age story about a young girl in South Carolina in the 90s. She is the baby of a large and complicated family. Though her story is heartfelt when I think back on the book, I remember crawling through it even though it wasn't very long. I can't honestly pinpoint why I found Redwood Court so difficult and slow, but it was definitely not my cup of tea. (Lily)
