This is an acquired taste, the IPA of books. It's definitely a unique writing style; all run-ons and nearly no dialogue. I wasn't so sure at the beginning, but it really grew on me. The concept is really intriguing, and it's a short read worth checking out.

This book has an extremely interesting premise and leads the reader into deep thought about race and racism. I absolutely love the concept and thought the characters were interesting. I just struggled with the author’s writing style… so many run on sentences!
