5.0

this book consists of by far one of the greatest courtroom scenes ever! it’s full of twists and turns and drama and love and it’s just oh such a wonderful story! 

the story is excellently written, and learning about the inspiration and process from the author’s note is so interesting. focusing on hate and love, this book highlights just how similar those strong feelings are. it takes you through so many emotions, highlighting the impact of passive racism, and the resolution is everything. 

there were characters to love and characters to hate and in the end, you appreciate learning from both sides and their points of view. this story follows along with different aspects of a real issue in today’s society, which is conflicts of racism and white supremacy. and i think it’s done superbly well. 

a phenomenal read, truly!
