sarahscott917 's review for:

We Are Not Like Them by Christine Pride, Jo Piazza
4.0

This was a good look at two sides of a story and a good pick for book clubs. What happens to a lifelong friendship when a white woman and a Black woman are caught in the fallout after the white woman's police officer husband murders a Black teen. It offered good insight into how two different women and two different communities feel and cope in the aftermath. What felt off was the friendship. It didn't feel truly close, and it was hard to understand why the Black woman maintained the friendship when the white woman was so ignorant, dismissive and self-absorbed.
