This is a well told story with great characters and a realistic setting. I really loved all the characters, wanting a happy ending for each of them. The audiobook was well read, and I was fully engaged in the narration throughout. The story is set in Alabama in the 60s, with race as a main theme, but it didn't feel extremely historical in the voice, I kept forgetting it was in the 60s, the situations and issues are still pretty relevant today, which is a bummer to realize. I really liked it overall. I don't feel the title really fits the book.
