3.5

Combines thrilling tension, heartfelt emotions with important reflections about institutional racism - good book, especially for someone trying to learn more about those subjects without losing on the entertainment. Loses point because the ending gets somewhat boring and predictable, with a bit too neat and unrealistic of a resolution that I think takes away from the story’s otherwise important message.
