4.0
A narrative told in little snippets of text, each a solid gut punch. If the strength of this book is how painfully plausible it is (e.g. a main character being internet famous for tweeting "Can a dog be twins?"), the brief scene where someone's therapist tries to convince them to hate the police significantly weakens its point.
Graphic: Ableism and Child death
Moderate: Racism and Police brutality
