Having read the summary of this book it was not one that I would have chosen on my own, but with it being recommended by a coworker I thought I would give it a try and I am SO GLAD that I did! This is possibly one of the most impactful books that I have ever read! This book was able to navigate the still very prevalent issues of racial and systematic injustices within our society while also crafting an interesting narrative amongst the main characters.
