I wasn't expecting the format this story was told in. The story of the Lovings is told as a narrative poem that switches back and forth between the points of views of Richard and Mildred. This helped make the story a lot more relatable and human and I really liked that. You get to see Richard and Mildred's relationship develop and see them grow as people as they both make mistakes in their relationship but always end up fighting to stay together. You can feel how much they cared for each other as a couple and were hurt by the racism and prejudice around them.



**SPOILER ALERT (only if you're not familiar with Richard and Mildred's story)**



It really sucks that Richard ended up dying because of an irresponsible drunk driver after having fought so long to be with his wife. At least they did have a reasonably long relationship, but still. I liked that there were moments of frustration that were shown because of their difficult circumstances because  those moments are what really brought the story to life for me. An amazing and memorable recap of the people behind the Loving vs. Virginia court case.
