We Love You, Charlie Freeman by Kaitlyn Greenidge
4.0
I didn’t expect to dig this one as much as I did, mainly because the conceit of a family living with a chimp for an experiment is a bit uninspiring. We don’t need any more contemporary fiction about monkeys and chimpanzees, people. But this book got its hooks in me with the smart ways Greenidge depicts and dissects race, and she has a real talent for ratcheting up tension and uncomfortability, without you really noticing, until it knocks you over all at once.
