Dear Martin, by Nic Stone
3.0
3.5 stars
After reading This Is My America, naturally I had to read Dear Martin, I personally do not rate this book five stars because I felt emotionally detached from the characters, maybe because I feel like the plot was showed not told. All in all it was a pretty good read although I wish some plotlines were explored more, the portrayal of race and race identity is lovely and accurately displays the stark disparity of living as a racialised poc in America.
