I really enjoyed this book, it talks about a lot of "taboo" issues that not many authors want to touch like racism, stereotypes, implicit bias and cyberbullying. I also really liked that this book didn't just let an apology be good enough to patch thing up forgiveness had to be earned by working on your trust like real life.
