4.5
this is a short novel filled with so much depth and complexity, written beautifully. it’s thought-provoking and reflective, showing us the story of a young Black girl sent to juvenile detention after she defends herself against a racist and violent attack by 2 young men. it’s an intimate examination of the emotional trauma of being imprisoned, of the ways that racism is perpetuated within the systems in our society, and the expectations placed on Black women
