An amazing follow up to Dear Martin, and the other side of what life can be like for Black boys growing up without any kind of support system to fall back on. Nic Stone shows us what could’ve been for Quan with how Justyce succeeds, and how Justyce could’ve easily followed the path that Quan does. The author’s note was great too; I’m just so glad both of these books exist.
