5.0

Heartbreaking. This novel is entirely heartbreaking. It was a phenomenal read, in which a woman is shot on her doorstep in an act of police brutality, and sees her life flash before her as she searches for the answer to how she found herself in that situation. I simultaneously hated and loved reading this one, as it tackles some difficult issues, and confronts your own thoughts about race but it becomes even more poignant when you realise that the author is writing from an experience she went through herself. I highly recommend.
