Clean Getaway by Nic Stone

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun road trip, a historical journey of the South during the difficult times of the Civil Rights movement, a clear insight into the additional struggles of a biracial couple in this time, and the continuing racial issues alive in this country. I loved the story and whizzed through it. 5 starts based on quality of writing and worthiness of book. I would not be surprised or disappointed to see this pop up on awards lists in the coming year. 4 stars, though, because I had a hard time with the characters of the grandmother. Not quite enough reconciliation to cover it all. As a child reader, the general unease I felt might have been more wholly enjoyable.
