Reading this book felt like gaining a friend (or a group, as the Unholy Trinity truly comes as a set). Angie Thomas is a talented writer, each chapter flawlessly moves the scene and each character is given enough space for us to find ourselves in the scene. I'm not someone from the US and I can't say much about the representation from an outside view, but you can tell that there had been so much care put into these pages for people to find themselves — just as Bri had.
