a great book with a great message. truly fucked up contents that literally had me slack-jawed at times. i loved that the message is don't let the fucking racists win and essentially there is power in you and power in blackness. however, i felt like the writing style was juvenile and lacking at times which is why it's not 5 stars. that doesn't stop the book from being a compelling and slight heartbreaking read though
