This was heartbreakingly lovely. I got teary at the end. A story about first love and racism with language that is gentle and easy to understand.

It starts off a little slow, but the alternating perspective keeps the build up interesting. What u love most about this book is how the climax is a sudden crescendo and fall. The climax and falling action are all packed into the last few pages.
