What Members Thought
This book hit me hard. Although it’s not a perfect book, it is the kind of book that illuminates the reality of life in a black body. While there were some pretty big coincidences in the plot and some passages that were a bit didactic, I still think this book is a worthwhile read that could change some hearts and minds.
Such a powerful, vulnerable, honest book. Perfect for teens but adults too! Everyone should experience this book. Listened to this on #audio, amazing narration.
Such an incredible book, it's definitely going down as one of my top favorites. I will forever remember this story and the continuous, racial, prejudicial, ignorant (I can go on) battles that are still happening and the lessons we're still learning. And there was something about hearing the audio instead of reading the novel that really impacted me emotionally too. The narrator was perfect. Dear Martin and Nic Stone deserve more stars.

This book takes social issues from the headlines and examines them from the viewpoint of a seventeen year old black teen. I loved the discussions about race and it opened my eyes to the issues and prejudices that minorities still face. Interesting read-WAY too much language.
Nic Stone is so so talented. I couldn’t put this down! Finished in under 3 hours.
A must read! I listened to the audio book and the narration was fantastic.
