I can't say I liked it that much. It was telling us things more than showing us, if it makes sense. I felt I was lectured throughout the book. Tamara, the mother of the murdered boy, was the most realistic character. The rest were like playing specific roles to educate us.

I liked this book, heavy and tough read but liked the focus of women’s friendships. The authors overall dealt well with difficult topics of policy brutally, BLM, and class issues. Not a lighthearted read, but an important one. Not sure if I loved the ending.
