Some times you read a book and you have to take a pause to think whether it was a plot wtist, a character, a theme or that it was just such a good read. With Small Great Things it was all those things, Picoult writes in such a way that you are able to stand alongside each character and share their experiences but with this book there is a hand on your shoulder saying "No, your experiences are not the same. No, you don't really understand." I am still processing this book, my own white privilege and how I can strive to be better
