Great book. Wish the dialogue of the black characters weren't so blatantly stereotypical. It sounded like they wanted the black characters to sound like they were from the 70's and 80's. There was an overuse of slang language to sound "hip" and "relevant" and to make sure the readers knew the characters were black. As if all black people speak like that. It was off putting.

This was an overall great book - but not a book that changed my life. Not a book that I'll read again. It was simply good- something I enjoyed but wasn't salivating to read. I enjoyed the track element of the story and I liked how this duel-perspective was written.
