Colored Television was one of my last and favorite reads of 2024!
Jane is a biracial writer and she, her artist husband, Lenny, and their two kids live a nomadic lifestyle, hopping houses through various sublets and rentals. Now, they’re house-sitting at a friend’s mansion in the Hollywood Hills and Jane feels they’re finally on the brink of change. She’s on sabbatical from work and at last, has time to dive into writing her second novel. �
�
Things don’t work out as Jane envisioned in her head and in an effort to salvage what they’ve been working for, Jane makes some bold leaps into new territory. �
�
Colored Television is a story about ambition, wealth, and racial identity. It offers social commentary and has domestic elements. I really liked the writing aspects in the story too. There is humor and satire, sometimes obvious and other times, more subtle. I didn’t agree with all of Jane’s choices but I still found myself rooting for her to pull it together and I couldn’t look away.

It sounds interesting. I hope I get around to reading it. Hey, I'm bailing on IG, can you pls unfollow bia_bianca_1 (it's still under hackers' control, META can't be bothered to help, not even answer in any way). It's been fun!
Definitely an eye-catching cover. Glad you loved it, Brandice!
Fantastic review! You liked it a bit more than me. I really enjoyed reading your review.
