Hell of a Book

I loved this book while struggling with this book. I quickly fell in love with Jason Mott's style, but struggled with some of the racial sentiments. As a White Canadian woman, I admit, I may not have enough context, education or empathy to ‘get it'. But when I hear Shonda Rhimes describing a post-racial America and the success of Bridgerton, see Barack Obama elected twice, and Oprah Winfrey now a living legend, I wonder—does this book contain ‘truth'. It's hard for me to see all cops grouped together as one.

But then I tilted my truth meter, and asked instead, is this story the characters truth? And I could say yes. So I gave Hell of a Book five stars.
