American Street by Ibi Zoboi
4.0

Oh, boy.

This story was heavy. It took me 9 days to get through it, not because the text was particularly dense, or the book had a hefty page count, or any of that. I just couldn't read a whole lot at once, because it was dark. It was sad. It was frustrating.

It was important.
