I loved that real world issues are woven into this book and it was not predictable at all. I was planning on 4 stars until the end just happened too fast. All the action, all the explanation and story lines culminate in a few short chapters. I’m left wondering how the good guys got away with the bad stuff they had to do for survival when government and cops weren’t on their side. Just too abrupt and a few loose ends left it at 3 stars.

I picked this up for a city wide bookclub.

The first half to three-quarters of the book was slow, but needed to set up the story, making me wonder why it was tagged as a thriller. The story took a hard turn during the last few chapters, clarifying why it was a thriller.

I enjoyed the book, but wish it had moved along more quickly. I would have rated it a 5 if it was a little more consistent throughout the book.

gives space to talk about the heavy complexities of gentrification and US history, thought it was super well-researched the shoot out aspect was… a lot for me 😴 but i think would be really good for a different reader
