This book had a slow start for me, but I knew it was difficult in all the right ways and I needed to keep going, even it was on and off between other books. The last part of the book really picked up for me (partly because I was finally in a better mental space to appreciate the story) and by the end I finally understood why so many people report loving this book so much! Made me cry!
Highly recommended for everyone, even young readers, as long as they're able to handle the references to violence and intense racism.
