Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi
In the turbulent city of Lucille, a guarded teenage artist finds refuge at an elite art school while her friends organize protests against entrenched injustice. Torn between the safety of creation and the risks of direct action, she paints something that slips into the world with a will of its own, forcing her to reckon with the price of retribution, the responsibilities of community, and the possibility of healing—a taut, tender prequel about activism, chosen family, and the power—and danger—of making art into a weapon.
