About Scarr, who lives in a poor neighborhood, but goed to private school in a white area. About racism, Police-violence and activism. Was quite slow, could be way more powerful in my opinion.
so yes, i should've just read this when it was given to me in 2018, but regardless, what a masterclass on writing an endless cast of distinct, well-developed, complex characters!
I would give this book a hell of a lot more that 5 stars, it gets a billion of them. This is probably one of the best books I've read in many many years. It was an incredible rollercoaster story that kept me gripped to the book and not wanting to put it down until I completed it. I even took it to work and read it in my lunch break.
Please please please people need to read this book.
