When I say this is one of the best books I have read in my life, know that it is not said lightly or with exaggeration. The way this story had me a choke hold was insane.
I smiled, I laughed, I held my breath, I got mad, big mad, I cried. And then at 85% I had to take a break and just breath and reflect because thoughts of the Panter 21 and the Central Park 5 were racing through my mind, and I had to process.
This was beautifully written, the author takes us through the events leading up to an explosion that is deemed domestic terrorism and the arrest, incarceration, trail, and aftermath of 6 teens who were attending their respective Muslin Student Association event and targeted as scapegoats for a massive coverup.
If you read this and at any point, think that this is unbelievable then you truly are living in a bubble and are not aware of the corruption in our legal system and the ability to buy a cover up. Let's not forget major corporations have gotten away with poisoning entire towns.
It was a privilege to read this story and I hope that once it releases that it catches the eyes and hears of Hollywood because an adaptation be it a series or movie would be impactful.
