In this week’s Black Girls Lit! pour, your favorite lit crew — Lex, Natasha, and Star — crack open Wish You Had Told Me by Zina Patel, and whew… the silence speaks loud in this one.

This episode is a toast and a warning — because sometimes it’s not the knife in your back that hurts, it’s the friend holding it. The ladies dive deep into the novel’s haunting friendship secrets, the weight of untold truths, and the real-life reminder to watch who you call “friend.”

We unpack the delicate dance of reconnection, why some friendships don’t age as well as wine, and the importance of honest conversations — even when the truth is uncomfortable. Because sometimes, healing ain’t about closure… it’s about clarity.

Expect plenty of laughter, strong opinions, and even stronger pours. It’s a healing session and a homegirl check-in — all in one glass. It’s grown woman talk with a splash of realness: no sugarcoating, no chasing. Just raw reflections, bold questions, and that signature BGL blend of wit, warmth, and wisdom.
