Book Referees is honored to be part of the Hear Our Voices blog tour for 52 Weeks: A Party of One by Bianca Pensy Aba!
This one pulled no punches—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Bianca Pensy Aba’s 52 Weeks: A Party of One is a beautifully layered exploration of what it means to sit with yourself when everything around you has fallen apart. The writing is sharp, honest, and emotionally grounded, with a voice that pulls you in from the very first page.
Aba doesn’t sugarcoat the discomfort of growth or the weight of unresolved pain. Instead, she invites readers into the quiet chaos of starting over—not with a fresh slate, but with all your baggage in tow. Aisha’s journey feels authentic, messy, and necessary. It’s not about quick fixes or picture-perfect healing. It’s about the kind of solitude that forces you to confront the truth you’ve been avoiding.
This book doesn’t just tell a story—it holds space for anyone who’s ever needed to fall apart in order to come back stronger. Thought-provoking, resonant, and refreshingly real, 52 Weeks is a bold celebration of self-discovery on your own terms.
