Jason Reynolds is very interesting, I have watched so many of his interviews and speeches on YouTube. He seems like an amazing guy. I loved this book, I listened to the audiobook (which is narrated by him) and it was thought-provoking and poignant.
I think this should be read in classes everywhere. Though written in verse, the story itself, is relative to millions of people.
I’m very happy that I finally picked this up. Wish I had done it sooner!

Graphic: Gun violence and Grief
Minor: Child death
