I knew the ending was going to be tragic based on the warning from the very beginning of the story, but I didn't know what to expect! It kept me on the edge and I really like the social justice issues as a major theme. Overall, an excellent read.

A timely novel on class, racism and relationships. I could not look away although at times I wanted to. It is well written and a compelling tale. I liked the ‘neighbourhood’ commentary and perspective on the characters. I think this book will stay with me for some time.
