Ok, a book about somebody who wants to be a rapper is not for me. But since it was written by Angie Thomas I wanted to read it anyway. Angie Thomas is a really good author and this story made me think about how it is to be black in my neighborhood. I really think that the reality is not the same then the one in this book, but I think this reflection is something that should be happening more often then it is right now.
