This was a interesting read. I loved the topic and discussions about sexuality, race and racism and homophobia and seeing characters growth. I just didn’t love how this was like an action thriller. Like I didn’t really care about the fathers getting revenge and it was just to action movie for me. The mystery was good, but wasn’t shocking to me. I also didn’t really feel much emotion because I feel like we didn’t get to know the characters. It also took me way too long to remember who was who. This was also really funny at times especially Bobby Lee.

The plotting was fantastic. The characters felt so human and real. And the writing was affecting and insightful.

The narration really sucked me in, too. 

Excellent all around.

This book was very well written. The descriptions of people, places, and things jumped off the page. The topic is a very raw and real problem in our society today and the story was told authentically. There were some specifically placed comedic quotes to break up the heaviness. It was a great book I'm interested in other books by this author.

I had to suspend disbelief when it came to the complete lack of police involvement, but other than that I enjoyed this story. And I really liked Buddy Lee. 

So.

When does the movie come out?
