This book was tough. I didn't necessarily learn something new, but Coates has a beautiful way of writing that really pulled me in. It broke my heart again and again, and yet it's a story of resilience. Should be required reading in my opinion!

This book puts a lot of the issues of anti-blackness in America and the legacy of slavery and the damage of ongoing white supremacy into a very personal, human perspective that I think is really necessary for white people to read. It's painful to read in a way that we need to be hurt. Really clear in voice and purpose. An excellent book.
