This is a regular love story with some identities thrown in.
We all carry our crosses, and it is not fair to say that one is heavier than other. Which is what was the best part in this book. It doesn't try to be the voice which opposes the violence against black people. It rather takes this up in a subtle manner and shows how it actually affects their lives at a very micro level.
The fear, anger, and helplessness that comes out of being the target changes you a lot and there is nothing that can justify it. The worst part is that we are still talking about these things in 21st century which tells us how much change is still required.
The voice of the whole book is a lot dreamy and I didn't connect with all of it but it is worth a read.
Love is not strong in itself but it can bring the strongest out of you.
Peace
