I personally didn’t like the way the story was told, switching between the two main character’s stories, but I feel like it worked for the story. I did get a little emotional, and the writing was very saddening at some points. But it did it in a respectful and good way. And I feel like the author’s goal was to make everyone on both sides of the story seem as human as possible and really make you feel human emotions for both main characters despite the flaws they may have, or if you don’t agree with them. And I admire the way it was done

I remember when this case first happened. I think the book did a good job of giving a full background of the people involved, how differing paths led them to where they intersected, the ways that horrible crimes can come from one single stupid decision. Also the way that the "justice" system can work against young black men and away from the idea of rehabilitation. I liked learning the details of the case, and the opinions of both families, since it wasn't really reported much at the time. I am glad to hear that Sasha went on to make a full recovery without any trauma associated with the event.
