A must read.  The story is powerful, the writing is suburb, and the character development is perfection.  I cried, I laughed, and I fell in love with this American family and how they support each other through tragedy.  

 It is incredibly relevent to what is occurring in our country and the impact of systemic racism.

This was an amazing book, I’m so glad I finally read this but this book also caused me so much anger and pain at what the main character had to experience

and how in the end the cop that murdered her friend was never found guilty

anyway this was an amazing book even tho it made me cry and I recommend everyone read it
