Parts of the book were hard to read, Josh’s point of view on a lot things, in particular, though I still believe that in the end, everything wasn’t fine given the state of the country today. But I loved his character for being the kind of person who was brave enough to stand up for what he believes, loving enough to keep trying, and confident enough to be challenged. He also reminds us of the importance of discourse and forgiveness. I feel like he was the real hero of the book, and I don’t say that lightly, given Jess was the protagonist and the BIPoC with the trauma to overcome. Still, I loved how much she grew throughout the book and trust she will continue to grow. I’m rooting for these two!
