Overall, this book was an emotionally heavy, desperate message for things to change as soon as possible especially since it's set in the very near future. I only dock points from this book because of the structural issues I had with the story. At times I think the pacing took away from the important themes.
Graphic: Classism, Police brutality, Colonisation, and Racial slurs
Minor: Sexual assault
