Truly one of the best books of the year. I am so overwhelmed by how amazing this book was. I finished it at the end of the year and am still thinking about the genius that it took to write this book. Re-work and re-tell a story that is so deep in the American cultural lexicon and do it so interestingly. This book blew my mind.
