Nic Stone is a fantastic writer and has given us another well-written book about black teen incarceration, police brutality, and systemic racism. Her books are so readable, relatable, and downright necessary. I didn't love this one quite as much as I did Dear Martin, but I still consider both to be beneficial reading. If I could require people to read particular books, both in this series would be on the required reading list.
Graphic: Domestic abuse and Cursing
Moderate: Racism, Confinement, Gun violence, Murder, and Panic attacks/disorders
Minor: Terminal illness and Police brutality
