Dear Justyce by Nic Stone

5.0

I LOVED this book! It’s definitely an emotional
rollercoaster, but so worth the tears and tension it causes me lol I really love the symbolism of the playground and how it represented lost hope, and no escape for Quan. I also love how Stone really drilled in the concept of having encouragement and support for young Black men. Black children need this and they need to know that they have options or else, how would they know they can have more and be more than what society is telling them is possible? This is why I really love Doc both in “Dear Martin” and in “Dear Justyce”. I feel like his character was much needed as he was this balance that created a bridge between hopelessness and bravery. Overall, this book is a 10 out of 10 for me, and I cannot wait to read more from this author.
