amndaj's review against another edition

challenging emotional inspiring medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.75

Fast but important read, reminiscent of The Hate You Give. Gives the reader a front row seat to some of the emotions and thoughts of a person subjected to racism and police violence as well as a person learning to see those problems.
