I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked up this book. It was a hand me down from my mom. Turns out, it‘s a story about race and class. I wasn‘t sure I wanted to continue to read it at first, but I kept going and am glad that I did. It wasn‘t an action packed book, it just was a story about life. I enjoyed getting to know the characters. All in all, this was a very good debut novel.
