Complicated
Not my usual kind of book, or genre, but I read it because it has been made out to be a brilliant novel, many a time.
I can see why people praise it so highly; it was incredibly well written and didn't shy away from any of the realities of black lives or the pain, and grief, of losing someone so violently and seeing no justice.
I liked that shitty people were not made to have a redeeming arc - just like in real life, we don't all get our happy ending with the bad guys seeing their wrongs.
