Dear Martin by Nic Stone
5.0

CW: police brutality, racism, microagressions, police shooting

The only reason this was a two sitting book is because I was so exhausted and couldn't keep my eyes open to finish it. But let me tell you, I wanted to read it all in one night because it was SO GOOD. This is my first of Nic Stone's books, but it definitely won't be my last, especially since Jackpot is already on my bookshelf. I saw a lot of comparisons to The Hate U Give before picking this up and I would say that is accurate, although this book pissed me off a lot more. I found myself yelling at some of the characters multiple times for being such shitty people. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the sequel later this year.
