What Eyes Can’t See (Bold Journeys Series) by Paulette Stout – Review by Amber Howard

What Eyes Can’t See: A spicy contemporary fiction novel of love, social justice, and belonging by Paulette Stout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. As a black woman, I can relate to so much to the struggles of Barbara. Being looked over for promotions that I definitely earned and trying to present myself a certain way to fit in. I know a lot of people pretend that they don’t see the systematic racism in today’s society but it’s there. I also loved that the black character was from a wealthy family, and the love interest had a past. Often things are super stereotypical as if there is a specific blueprint for all black people. I think Sebastian is such a wonderful guy. Even with his wrap sheet. He turned his life around and wanted to make the world a different place.

I also enjoyed the writing style of the author. The imagery was spot on. Reactions and emotions to situations was authentic. This novel was also easy to read and get lost in. Definitely a great read!
