Thanks to NetGalley, Henry Holt and Co., and Rebekah Frumkin for the opportunity to read and review this book.
At its heart, this is a story of two families - one black and one white - told by different members of those families and their friends in chapters ranging from the 1970s to 2009. These families are forever linked by one night of violence in Cleveland.
This is less a story of figuring out what happens in the end and more of looking at these two family trees and see how events shape them. The author does a great job of really getting into each character's story. And the drugs, lots of drugs in this story!
It was a tad confusing with all the character switches but so interesting to see how the world views changed in dealing with so many issues (besides all those drugs!) - like race, poverty, weight, homosexuality, religion.
