The Moves Make the Man (Rpkg) by Bruce Brooks
4.0
4.5 stars
A seriously challenging story of racism, mental health, and friendship. I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars. This book has the potential for greatness. The passage where Jerome talks about how you make friends resonated with me. A lot of this book resonated with me. It made me uncomfortable; it made me think.
But despite that, I do not think I can make it one of my 5 star reads, at least not at this point. The sports references lost me too often and I found myself skimming instead of reading whole sections. The story line and characters moved me but the words themselves often felt distracting.
Definitely one I will have to come back to someday.
