When Our Worlds Collided by Danielle Jawando
3.0
“I didn't wanna stick around when the police got there, in case they saw me and thought I was involved. I didn't wanna end up being arrested, or searched, like what normally happens.”
A coming-of-age story of three teenagers, who came together when something happened at the mall one day. If you’re a big fan of Angie Thomas, look out for this book because it’s very immersive and hard to put down. Content warnings include themes that may find upsetting, including racism, violence and death.
What I really like about this book was that it talks about the struggles of being a part of the black community albeit your family’s background. There were a few instances that I just wanted to throw the book across the room because I felt that it wasn’t fair for these teenagers being put at fault just for the colour of their skin!
Not going to lie, the pace in the middle was getting slow and the ending was slightly anti-climactic but that’s the truth about racism, isn’t it? That it’s still is an ongoing issue today and that’s just upsetting.
