revmomeis 's review for:

We Rip the World Apart by Charlene Carr
4.5
challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
This is a very difficult, very beautiful book about racial violence, generational trauma, standing up for justice, and being family/community. It was a hard read, and very slow at times, but it feels like an important book, and I found myself really rooting for the characters and their communities. Highly recommended.
