Reading all the reviews out there of her new book, Black Girls Must Die Exhausted, and it’s easy to see why Jayne Allen’s debut novel is such a hit—because it’s so relatable. As a stand-in for her own life experience as a Black woman, Allen puts her protagonist into situations that we’ve been in before; dealing with comments about our hair, bad experiences with police, drama with coworkers. But what makes this story different is that she gracefully explores other issues that Black women face, but that otherwise may be difficult to talk about.
