Wow, wow, wow.

Written to his mother, it feels like it's also written to kids of color, kids of size, kids with EDs, adults of color, people who've been abused, white people, Southerners, Northerners . . . you get it - everyone.

As eye-opening as The Hate U Give, without the fiction that might have well been non-fiction, and without the same type of storytelling.

Counted as 2019 PopSugar Reading Challenge prompt: A book you think should be turned into a movie
