My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read Dear Martin. It was good. I just finished Dear Justyce. It was great. I have to say I struggled along with Quan- my heart broke every time Quan's broke. His mother had her struggles, the people Quan trusted and respected left for various reasons. And how he ended up in jail is unfortunately probably not a unique scenario, but one that helps everyone understand how the disparity of racial percentages of incarcerations happens. The whole reason behind the book explained by Nic Stone gives the reader an insight that exponentially creates a more personalized story. And the dedications at the back of the book- you can't ignore those as well. The whole book makes you want to cuddle up to the characters and support them in any way possible. But read Dear Martin first, then this one. It's not mandatory, but it puts another spin on it.
