beautifully written, i love how this author describes things. it's very compassionate and written in varying perspectives that give you an all-encompassing understanding of the protest these characters are attending. it takes place in 1999 Seattle, but it could easily fit with a more modern storytelling as well, ie. the Trump era. my only qualms with this book are it's slower paced than i would like and the events of one day are drawn out. it didn't pick up for me until i was around page 100, but i still enjoyed it nonetheless.
