I cried so much reading this; the first half of the book sets up the characters you will spend the second half sobbing over. There are certainly dated elements (describing a specific reaction .gif, use of Tumblr and Facebook as though they're relevant to teens), but the overall plot unfortunately is as relevant as ever.
Graphic: Child death, Gun violence, Panic attacks/disorders, Racism, Violence, and Police brutality
