Dear Martin

I loved being inside Justyce's head. And though there are terrifying and heart wrenching moments, Dear Martin leaves the read feeling hopeful. This has it all. Humor, sadness, love.....it also left me, at times, with that tightness in my chest signaling that I would love to scream at someone about the unfairness in life, especially life for a young, black male. Wanting to reach through the book at times and throttle someone, sometimes even Justyce because like a good writer, Stone penned a character who makes mistakes. A character who is a seventeen-year-old boy in every way.
