Could have been 5 stars but the character Theo written by a white author just didn't sit well with me. I believe she did an awesome job with Jarret, but the modern character and his relationship with Jess tried too hard and seemed unbelievable. The history and research in this book, however, was impeccable and I thoroughly enjoyed the historical plots that kept my attention.

Applauding the author for a fresh take on an otherwise saturated genre, and for tying the historical context directly to modern-day issues in America.
