We Are Not Like Them: The most anticipated and important new fiction novel you’ll read in 2021

This was a very powerful book to read, Told from Jen and Riley’s points of view. Jen is white, Riley is black, now this is not something I would normally write because race does not mean anything to me, people are human beings and deserve to be treated the same regardless of their race and colour. However, this is a prominent factor in this book.
They have been best friends since kindergarten and still are now. A black teenage boy is shot by police and Jen’s husband, a police officer was involved. Riley is covering the story as she is a television journalist. As things unfold, we see how different it is between black and white and how things are perceived by both.
Will Jen and Riley’s friendship last, will justice be served? Well, you will have to read the book to find out.
I thought this was written in a great way, it tells it from both sides and it was so poignant, especially with what has been going on recently that it needs to be read. It certainly opened my eyes more to the discrimination black people have to face all the time.
