A very short book and a quick read. I feel like the seriousness of the issues at hand (racism, street violence, relationships and grief) were not given the depth and detail that they warrant because of the shortness of the novel. I wasn’t overly thrilled with the book even though it’s a powerful and relevant topic. I was reminded a bit of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas because of the gun violence and injustice and discrimination that takes place. But the novels are quite different other than those common themes. I just think the book could have had more.
