If I could give Dear Marvin 10⭐️ I totally would! Nic Stone did a phenomenal job capturing a glimpse of what it’s like for Black Americans being racially profiled. I think she did an excellent job with character development & I liked the pace of the book. I can’t wait to read Dear Justyce next because I couldn’t put this one down! & now I want to know is this a movie yet or at least can it be?
