Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi, Yusef Salaam
5.0

A new favourite; book is an absolute gem. The story is told completely in poems, which adds a certain uniqueness and voice to it I don't see in many books. I had to stop myself from crying at multiple times throughout, which doesn't happen very often; it tells a truth about our culture at the moment, and I believe we all need to see that and actually do something about it.
