Just Mercy (Adapted for Young Adults): A True Story of the Fight for Justice by Bryan Stevenson

4.0

I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. Despite it being a summer reading requirement, I was able to dive into Stevenson’s life and care about the people he was talking about. The book showed me how people are making strides in any way they can, and also showed me a side of the criminal justice system that a white woman like me will never experience. I am now firmly against the death penalty as a result of this book and am decidedly more educated about certain practices that go on in this country.
