I always think books about police brutality are important. This book was super sad, very necessary, and pretty entertaining. However, the one flaw I had with it was simply the writing style. I just found that it was very amateur. You could tell this was definitely a debut novel. I feel like some of the interactions with adults weren’t very realistic, mostly the principle, and everyone was yelling too much, but once I looked past the writing, there’s still no denying this is a very good book!
