Ouch, this.book will hurt your heart so much. There are three generations and sadly the first one described, the middle.one has the least hook. I almost stopped this book several times. Then the second part began and it was a lot more zippy.
Both Matthew and bottoms characters were easy to dislike, but not as much Nick's. It was interesting as yiu saw through his eyes what it was like to look white, but known you are a minority. Worth the read. Would have appreciated if we knew what happened with Ping's letter.
