This book... 🤯

George, a Black teenager raised during Jim Crow, turns 15 in 1953. April, a white teenager raised well after Jim Crow, turns 15 in 2003. They are nothing alike, but they share a secret...

I am blown away by the story & how well-written it was. I ate this book up.

The secret blew my mind.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced reader's copy. I am so grateful.

Interesting premise but flipping back and forth between two characters in different times was challenging in terms of following the two story lines. I thought at first it might be doable, but in the end, I didn't enjoy having to do so. At the last, I found myself slogging through two text, being swallowed by the relentless mud of the two narratives. On the other hand, the writer is skilled, but just couldn't bring it off.
