This was a heartbreaking true story that was equal parts informative and eye-opening. However, I think this suffered from 1. a slightly boring narrator and 2. an 'Author's Note' section that included more of what I personally wanted to know regarding the aftermath and investigation. I do think that people should read this to understand just how affected marginalized communities are when it comes to the lack of properly functioning public facilities and access to essential services.
