Initially, the formatting threw me off, as there weren’t really defined chapters. It was like a stream of consciousness (with intermittent flashbacks) showcasing Raheim’s growth and correction of of his misbehaviors from the first book. It was a little boring until the conflict with his father was broached, which did answer some of my questions about his insecurities on fatherhood and his sexuality. Any scenes where Raheim was interacting with Mitchell and/or Junior were highlights and won me over–especially the last 25%.
