This book ended up being a good read for me. It wasn’t the mystery in the story that got me, it was how I related to the main character so much.
I wanted the book to have more of a thriller feel but it wasn’t that for me. Just like the main character, I remember that feeling, when you first experience deliberate racism. I connected with many of the experiences the main character had.
I was able to guess the conclusion of the story but the main character was so likable that I was not left disappointed.
Another thing this book did well was the dialogue. The voice of each character came through as very spot on.
I would recommend this book, especially anyone looking to understand the Black experience.
Great book
