Wow, this was a powerful rollercoaster of a novel. It's timely and deals with the alternating POV well. It's a great piece that challenges us to look at race and how actions attribute to prejudice. 

There were moments that I wish I knew a bit more of the characters' backstories and got a better sense for who they were before the inciting incident. While I hoped they would get out of danger and cared for them in that way, I wish I could have more from them to really be in the story with them.
