Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
The last bit got quite interesting. Izzy was a well-written character and throughout the later part of the novel I was very interested in reading more Izzy parts, so Kudos to the writer. Mia's backstory was fascinating to read although I didn't quite find myself very connected to her character. I don't think I was particularly rooting for any of the characters at any point except for Izzy.
The plot of the novel is the thing that kept it going, there was no beat to it. This is probably my reason for being irritated as I don't care much for the plot as much as I care for the characters and style. Celeste Ng tried to squeeze a lot of substance into it but it's always annoying when amateur writers write about race.
I would be interested in reading a small novella or epilogue about what Izzy ends up doing.

I finished it and I'm feeling depressed now.
Jimmy's Blues and Other Poems by James Baldwin
5.0
A powerful poetry collection. I haven't read any of Jimmy's prose but this is a really good gateway to his legacy and body of work. Unflailing in telling the truth.
