I live in a country where there are not a lot of POC and to me, issues their communities face around the world are not tangible.
This book made me smile, cry, cheer on, and swear like a sailor. It has a very approachable way of such a heavy and disgusting subject and manages to paint an exquisite portrait of people, places, and culture.
I was afraid I missed the train because I read it only in the summer of 2022, but this will definitely become a classic.

This book made me tear up so many times and it was so hard to keep those tears back while I was at work. I really wish this wasn’t still our current reality but I liked that the book didn’t sugarcoat it and make it seem like everything was going to be fine soon. Instead it left us with a message that everyone needs to continue to work together to change the system and we shouldn’t stop doing the right thing no matter what. We should always be trying to make things better than they were before.

There are no words to describe this book. It is eye opening and I am so glad I read it.
