This book really flew by for me. I wasn’t checking the page number every couple pages like I normally am and I wasn’t even aware of the time while I was reading. I loved the whole concept of this book which drew me in right from the start. A black author writing about the black experience usually intimidates my pathetic white arse (I’m working on it) but this book was so much easier to read than I expected. I loved the conversations this book had and I feel I learned so much from reading it. My favorite part was the characters, they were all so complex and really felt like real people which definitely helped drive the story.

I don’t know exactly what I didn’t like about this book, but I know I can’t give it 5 stars because it just didn’t have the feel of a new favorite. It was quite short and I never truly got invested before it was over. 

I’m so glad I read this book. I need to make more of an effort to pick up books with characters and experiences unlike my own; this book was definitely an excellent start to that. Great book, would recommend. 4 stars.
