Important: Ich habe in meinem Leben noch keine Erfahrungen mit Rassismus gemacht und werde auch keine machen, weshalb ich nur als Außenstehende einen Blick auf dieses Buch werfen kann, nicht als Betroffene.

Lena und Campell sind zwei unterschiedliche Charaktere und es war nicht leicht sich schnell an ihre unterschiedlichen Persönlichkeiten und Sichtweisen zu gewöhnen. Jedoch habe ich mich beiden von Seite zu Seite näher und verbundener gefühlt.

Das Buch ist sehr gesellschaftskritisch und dadurch unfassbar lehrreich für mich gewesen. Ich war schockiert, voll mit Spannung und am Ende verblüfft von dieser besonderen, kurzen Geschichte.

Ich, als Außenstehende, kann das Buch für einige lehrreiche Lesestunden definitiv empfehlen!

Great YA read about the current (unfortunate) climate of our country and the choices our teenagers must make and how those decisions could affect their lives for years to come. I loved the dual perspective from both girls and authors!

It was an amazing tale of two girls that absolutely survived something tragic. My only issue is I want to know more about those two.

This book was pretty slow to get through despite the short length. The small window of time that it takes place in made it seem to drag on and on. I didn’t feel like I got to know the characters at all, or that the two main characters Campbell and Lena got to know each other at all either. So many of their choices didn’t make sense, and the ending seemed incomplete, like it stopped when they ran out of things to write rather than a planned or meaningful ending.

I really enjoyed the narration between the two characters: Lena and Campbell. At times, I did think the dialogue between two teens was too exaggerated and out of touch. The ending left me wanting more as well.
