Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
4.0
challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

This is an invaluable book. The format—a heartfelt and at times urgent letter from father to son made the book that much more powerful. This is a book I’ll need to sit with for a while before I can succinctly express how it impacted me. As the mom of two black teens, this definitely cut to the core. Overall this is a book I would recommend to anyone who wants to better understand the experience of being black in America.
