This felt slow at the beginning but once the trio came together and started getting close and working through things this was everything. I fell in love with Danielle’s writing and couldn’t get enough of it.

I thought this book was really quite brilliant. I cried several times. I was SO ANGRY at various parts of it, because of the injustice the characters faced. The writing was great; the characterisation was great; the story was beautiful and horrible and challenging and real. I have already recommended this to lots of people and will continue to do so.

“I didn't wanna stick around when the police got there, in case they saw me and thought I was involved. I didn't wanna end up being arrested, or searched, like what normally happens.”
A coming-of-age story of three teenagers, who came together when something happened at the mall one day. If you’re a big fan of Angie Thomas, look out for this book because it’s very immersive and hard to put down. Content warnings include themes that may find upsetting, including racism, violence and death.
What I really like about this book was that it talks about the struggles of being a part of the black community albeit your family’s background. There were a few instances that I just wanted to throw the book across the room because I felt that it wasn’t fair for these teenagers being put at fault just for the colour of their skin!
Not going to lie, the pace in the middle was getting slow and the ending was slightly anti-climactic but that’s the truth about racism, isn’t it? That it’s still is an ongoing issue today and that’s just upsetting.
Many thanks to @definitelybooks #pansing for this powerful review copy! This book will come out at the end of March 2022 so watch out for this book in any good bookstores!
