American Love Story

This book was intense af and that's all I want to say about it. The author does a great job tackling so many important issues like police brutality and discrimination against black people, the plight of refugees, and homophobia giving each of these the thoughtful representation that they deserve. And all the while, she also deftly manages to include a fascinating romance between two people from opposite backgrounds but similar values.

I thoroughly loved the experience of reading this book but I have to say I'm still reeling from that one particular intense scene from the story and I just don't know to describe more of my feelings. Just go pick up this book because it's important and lovely.
