This book honestly should be required reading, especially in a world where there is systematic oppression. This book made me cry, it made me feel hopeful, and it made me feel all the anger I felt during 2016 whenever somebody is harmed by the system that should be protecting us. 

This story also highlights the struggles of friendships, school, balancing different personas, and interracial relationships.
