It's a good message, but the writing / delivery felt forced & heavy-handed... Like, as you read, you sort of picture it playing out like a movie...and this is not a particularly good movie -- but it thinks it's gonna get that Oscar.Â
It's also questionable for a white woman to write from the perspective of any Black person.
It did keep my attention though, and I enjoyed the change of character perspective throughout. I also appreciated how well-researched it was.
Bottom line: it was fine.
