Daphne Palasi Andreades's debut novel Brown Girls is, at its heart, a coming-of-age story. Set in Queens, the novel follows Nadira, Gabby, Naz, Trish, and Angelique, a group of friends who are growing up feeling torn between two worlds. Each of them comes from a family of immigrants, and together they roam New York City, where they grapple with young adulthood, test the bonds of their friendship, and ultimately take divergent paths as they find themselves. This moving story puts the spotlight on the complexities of modern women friendships in a story about the beauty and tragedy of growing up.
