Oh man, this book had my heart completely ripped open.
It’s a story we have, in some sense, all heard through the media but without the true understanding of the victims whose lives are ended and affected by the blatant racism and police brutality that plagues our society, it’s hard to truly grasp the cascade effects of our blind bias and racism.
These characters and their conversations - and especially the inner dialogue of our MC - brought to the surface so many of my own biases and beliefs that continue to uphold racism and all that it destroys.
So glad I read it.
Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
My first five star read this year.
