Invisible Son by Kim Johnson

4.5

Wow. I’m rating this 4.5 stars for now but this honestly might be a 5 star read for me!! I went into this book fully blind so I was shocked and blown away by so many aspects of this story. First, the setting being during the pandemic brought up so many emotions & memories of how horrible the country was at that time. I think the effects of COVID were integrated seamlessly into this plot line and added a lot of depth to the issues discussed. The story was centered around systemic racism, police brutality, etc & touched on other important issues (some are spoilers)!! The mystery aspect truly had me hooked and the ending caught me SO off guard! This was beautifully done and I have nothing bad to say!!
