Wow! This book was quite different from what I expected but still excellent. The book centers around specific hate crimes committed by white supremacists starting in 2008, after the election of President Obama. Lowery uses interviews with the victims' friends and/or family to create deeply emotional and compelling deep dives into the impacts of hate crimes. I really liked the usage of individual stories to tell a broader pattern of backlash to racial progress, even if I had expected something more cohesive.

Thank you to NetGalley and Mariner Books for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
