not my usual genre, so it took a bit for me to get into, but thats absolutely not the books fault. its a heartbreaking and great novel about a family navigating their grief after the death of their son/brother at the hands of a cop. it handles a lot of rough topics so tread carefully. if you're in any way interested, absolutely read it.
