ambershelf 's review for:

Long Division by Kiese Laymon
5.0

Featuring two interwoven stories, part 1 of DIVISION is set in 2013 following 14-year-old Citoyen "City" Coldson and his public meltdown during a nationally televised quiz contest. City finds a book titled "Long Division" featuring the main character, also named City, but set in 1985. Part 2 of DIVISION thus follows the 1985 version of City and his adventures with his love interest in the small coastal community in Mississippi.

The most important thing you need to know about DIVISION is to not read the synopsis
