This book was an important social commentary on race in this country and how we, as a society, make assumptions based on the color of someone's skin or the amount of money in their wallet. Although it's a fictional book, I feel like there is so much we can learn from it. After their high school principal is murdered, three young people of color are immediately considered for the crime. This story follows their narratives the day before and the day of the murder and then launches into their own investigation to clear their names and find the true culprit. I saw the ending coming before we got there, but it didn't detract from the storyline at all. With an amazing cast of characters, this book keeps you engaged from the very first page. This book was handled expertly and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be looking for more books by this author in the future.
