challenging
dark
emotional
reflective
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Most of the other books by POC authors and about POC characters i've read have been pretty light and the happy ending feels like that of a romantic comedy, this is no such story. it is something far deeper and with more gravity to what really happens in the world, especially in America.
for those seeking a book with more truth and grit to reality this is a perfect read. for those who are looking to learn and better understand something they will never have to experience it is also a perfect read. please be warned that with these truths comes the gravity of what the real world can look like. i would not recommend this book to those looking for an escape.
