I enjoyed this book. Although it was very layered and complicated, I thought it was beautifully written. It brought perspective of grief, police, brutality, family, dynamics, friendship, sexual orientation, immigrant.

The writing is unique. This book may not be for everyone but those who get it - will get it.

A page turner through and through. Very emotional and personal with a nice attention to little details that draw you into the story of Michael, Francis and their mother.
