What a book! This is an intense story. I think the mom issue was a bit more than it needed. I wanted to know more about Makeda. The best bits were between the sisters. The mother’s undiagnosed mental illness sort of took over and I found myself feeling resentful and wanting the narrative to get back to Keda. I think the hate speech and bullying was well done and I also wanted them to go back to that school and suspend the other kid.

This would be a good companion book to Blended by Sharon Draper.
