We Love You, Charlie Freeman by Kaitlyn Greenidge
5.0
I couldn't put this book down! The premise sounds strange at first, but it has this underlying feeling of uneasiness that kept me reading, hoping to uncover whatever strange or tragic ending awaited me. The writing was amazing and the way the author describes settings and emotions painted an amazing mental picture. I truly felt like I was living in this book.
I also appreciated the way it calls back on the past to build on events happening in the present day. I was rooting for, or at the very least, intrigued by all of the main characters. Except for the mother. She was just plain weird, but her odd choices drove the plot so I guess I can't be too mad at her lol. Overall, 4.5 stars to this lovely book that highlights the horrors of medical/research-based racism.
