But it was sooo good. The writing is phenommenal, maybe not for everyone but I noted down so many beautiful and powerful quotes. It made me feel all the emotions, joy, happiness, sadness, anger.
The story is told from Tish's perspective, a 19 year old pregnant black girl whose fiance Fonny is in jail accused of rape. It's a story about love and (found) family, and it's about racism and police brutality. You get to know Tish's and Fonny's love story from the beginning and their desperate fight for justice with everything they got. But you also get to know Tish and Fonny as well as their families in such an intimate way. The bondings between the characters made me tear up all the time. It's such a short book but I fell in love with these characters and they will probably not leave me anytime soon.
