After getting through the first 2 chapters, it was emotionally tolerable for me lol. This is such a well written book. I feel like I can easily picture the scene he is describing in my head as I listen to him narrate it (getting through the book audibly).

I’m already on ch. 3 of this book and lemme tell you, I AM NOT OKAY! This book is hitting home very closely! I’m obviously not African American but his family struggles being a minority, raised by a single mom, who got sick when he was young and realizing certain realities & responsibilities forced to be taken on so young, is what’s most relatable so far. Idk if I’ll be able to finish the book but we’ll see
