I always appreciate Jodi Picoult’s willingness to take on controversial topics in an approachable, well-researched way. This book approaches racism, prejudice, unconscious bias, micro , and more- and it’s wrapped in a story that makes it personal. This is a good reminder to me to read Picoult books when they first come out, because I think this one would have been even more impactful had I read it when it came out in 2016.
