Reading this book was truely hard. I kept thinking it cannot get anymore fucked than this and I have never lost hope so quickly than in this book. 

It's not a grand happy ending but I am relieved the characters find some peace and love at the end of the road. I do not think the author could have explained how deep systemic racism can run in a more simplistic plot. It does not get better and it IS that fucked

 ngl i thought this had a prominent aspec character but that’s on me for assuming… 

Fiction that shows black children/teens Realizing firsthand how anti-black racism impacts them is always heartbreaking to consume. 

I liked Devon’s character a lot! Chiamaka i feel for u but my tolerance for how she Moved and Thought would’ve been hard for me to relate to her through if i was in this situation w her… the consequences of being biracial i guess… (/hj)
