I had very high expectations for this book, and it’s not that the expectations weren’t met, it just wasn’t as good as I had expected it to be.
The message in the book is amazing, and it’s something that needs to be spread and I thing that Thomas did an amazing job with it.

It was graphic but damn it needed to be. It needed to paint the picture so people could see the the world Black people have to navigate.
The characters were beautiful, the development was strong and well paced. I loved every second of this story. The character’s growth, the community support, the familial bonds, all 10/10.
