Clap Back

This was intense. I loved it a lot. It was a little hard to follow, but honestly to me that made it more atmospheric. I loved the included messages, and the way they became more pointed as the book progressed. The idea of the racist trinkets coming to life and sneaking out of stores and houses? Amazing. Creepy as hell, but amazing. It's ridiculous how many of these racist caricatures are still out there. I loved the way that the story was told, and the openendedness of the story. You're left to wonder what happens next on the precipice of a huge choice, and huge consequences and it really fired up my imagination.
