This was such a well written book. I truly enjoyed reading this from Jim/James perspective. Where I still don’t enjoy reading the N word, I’m mature enough to realize this is our history, our Black history, and words like this were and are used to address Black people. 
What I truly enjoyed was how Everett added code switching, but now we have to make sure we do it in reverse. This book should be eye opening but I’m also sure it will be banned soon.
