Loved this book. Loved the (kinda expected) romance subplot because—to me—you can never go wrong with a little love. My only real issue is that the antagonists in the book were really exaggerated, and despite the fact that the issue tackled in this book is very real, the perpetrators came across kinda cartoonish in my opinion. 

Still, an interesting book! I learnt a lot about Brooklyn and the issue of gentrification.
