Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed by Dashka Slater

5.0

challenging emotional informative sad tense fast-paced

---

Heavy stuff. This book brilliantly explores and validates both victim and bully. It allows the problem to remain nuanced. It respects the victims, strongly disavows racism, and recognizes the impossible situation dumb teenage perpetrators faced. It’s a tough topic and deals with horrible racism. But it’s beautifully done.
