challenging dark emotional informative tense medium-paced

The book was very good and very informative. And it’s so believable. If you think racists can’t get any worse, yes they can.

However, idk if I’m just an overthinker or if the author gave away too much too fast. I was already speculating

that Belle was either the girl that got run over or related to her

then the author gives it away 50 pages before it was confirmed. I do wish the author talked/delved more into that though. Like some subplots such as Belle because

I think she’s a good example of intergenerational racism. Like she actually believes “she doesnt have a choice” type shit

becayse that’s real. Most people don’t educate/distance themselves from that because it stems from family.

Furthermore, I think the ending was too fast and the beginning too slow. But maybe it’s just like that because it’s a slow burn book idk idk. All in all, I liked it. I would’ve liked it more if it was written a different way ig.

Story wise -> 5/5
Writing -> eh..
