The Truth of Right Now by Kara Lee Corthron
5.0
I was expecting the usual sort of teen fiction requesting for this book. I fell in love immediately with the book cover and over Dari because he's an artist like me. Instead, I found myself in a world that I would never experience myself and was reminded of the privilege that I own as a white person.
This book is unforgiveably intense, real, and full of raw emotions and a heavy reminder of how intense racism truly is. It also shows just how important it is to treat mental illness just like any other illness and that asking for help is not a weakness. This book felt real and raw, something you don't see often in teen fiction, and I wish I did.
Highly recommended.
