Reading 1 Star 🌟 Reviews of My 2020 Favorites

i definitely feel like this story is important to hear because people hear about r kelly in those situations but people have forgotten like that like people it's out of people's minds already and i think what she was trying to do here is to say that situations like this happen all of the time and that it has a lot to do with how we treat black women and black girls especially when it comes to trauma and protecting them and that they're not protected

the long way down is written in free verse it is about a young boy who is essentially debating whether he's going to avenge the death of his brother and it is a very complex story it talks a lot about the cycle of violence and how a lot of kids and teens are entered into the cycle of violence and how that affects their life and it really speaks heavily to not being judgmental of people who end up in these circumstances because a lot of it is coming from generational issues that have been passed on

hands down one of the best books i have ever read in my life not just in 2020 but one of the best books that i've ever read in my life

so this is another one of my favorites that i absolutely enjoyed and adored and it is about a young girl who is attempting to get her father off of death row and it looks at the complexity of the prison school prison pipeline system mass incarceration and how mass incarceration affects families and really great debut novel i mean it was fantastic i loved it
