Everyone needs to read this book. It’s empowering, uplifting, heartbreaking and just important. I loved the family so much, really all the characters. And, apart from King, every character had a redeeming quality. Symbolic of how it wasn’t just “some thug”. He was a child, a friend..someone’s baby. He mattered. This book is so beautiful in highlighting that. Incredible book!

Great read. Incredibly powerful. I read Sister Citizen before reading this and I felt like it really informed my reading and helped me understand the perspective and vocabulary better.

The reality of this book wrecked me. Everyone needs to be wrecked by this book and inspired because unfortunately it’s not fiction.

uuugh I had high hopes but the writing failed me -_-
The premise is amazing but needs a better writer smh. Also, it was longer and overly dramatic than it needed to be tbh
