This book was a heartbreaking yet inspiring read. Stevenson has achieved amazing things. It made me sad in the end though because I thought of Trump getting elected in 2016 and the rampant and open racism since then. I wonder how EJI and their teaching on racism has been affected by that.

I just loved this. It was worth the hype. The slow reveal of Grace's life and how he got where he did really builds well with the character development. I loved the ending. Worked amazing as an audiobook. Would always recommend.

I wanted to like this book so much but it really fell flat for me. It started out well but I quickly found it just dragged and I was pretty bored.
