This book deserves all the hype it gets. For a story that takes place mainly in a minute this book will be with me for a lifetime. I read it in 1 sitting devouring the lines written in verse while pulling the strings of my soul. Relevant, important stories to be shared and light to be shed on such a soul crushing subject.

I enjoyed this book. I love witch stories and the enemies to lovers troupe was well done. Lou is funny and brings a light-hearted part to the story. I love the strong female characters within the book. Adventure, romance, debauchery and mystery are all within the story.

I didn't know it was possible to pack so many important topics into slightly over 200 pages. This book is unfortunately incredibly timely. Imagine trying to figure out who you are as a late teenager so you pick a role model like Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. and begin to write him letters to learn more of yourself and your world. Imagine that Dr. MLK Jr was fighting for your rights to be the same as other individuals around you over 72 years ago and although you have more rights you still don't have the same rights. You are looked at as less than and in so profiled by police and other people around you all the time. This book gave me more insight and ripped my heart out. I highly recommend this read for anyone wanting to learn more about racism, police brutality, white privilege and media issues when reporting about such cases. It maybe labeled as fictional but it is all too real of a story I've heard over and over again.
