This book I feel needs more hype, more people need to read this important book about racism as a young person and handling falling out of friendships, processing aging grandparents and the pain of them losing their memories, parents fighting and maybe not having the healthiest relationship. Those are a lot of things that kids go through and are real things teen have to deal with. I thought this author did such an amazing job balancing all of these moments and walking us through as the characters are processing and walking out all of this too.

It wasn’t a deep book at all, though feelings were talked about a lot, it felt necessary To the storyline rather than a glimpse into the characters, though it did evolve into depth as the book progressed.
Honestly this book really felt like a teen romance novel and I wanted it to be more…whilst I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it either!
