I enjoyed this book a lot and loved how it makes you connect with the characters. Overall, all those pages were worth the read. I will most likely be reading the rest of the series.

Decent book, right up until the end. A little slow and predictable at points, but a decent read. Outside of the ending (which maybe it’s because of this book being part of a series) the MAJOR issue I take with it is that the author seems eager to doll out the use of the N-Word, while simultaneously bashful using the words penis or vagina to actually describe human body parts. Gives me weird vibes.

Incredible exploration of what it means to be a white person in the United States. One of the most profound pieces of literature that I have ever read.
