While I feel like the plot is rather basic and predictable, everything else about this book makes an impact. I feel like I could easily have met all the characters in real life. If I hadn't read this book at work during breaks I know I would have cried. Instead, I was left with a lot to think about and just consider in the context of both this book and the things that COVID-19/2020 brought to light to so many Americans. 

Black Lives matter, they have always mattered. This book is a beautiful love letter this basic fact and that the current and future generations need everyone to do better.
