What a timely book to be reading right now!
Tyron, Antoine, Keenan, and Naomi were friends growing up in Las Vegas, but when Tyron returns home after having served in the Marines, it seems everything has changed. Antoine spent some time in prison, but is now a boxer in the undercard before a highly anticipated big match. Keenan became a police officer who was just acquitted for killing an unarmed black teenager. Tyron has always loved Naomi but she married Keenan instead, and with everything that's happened, their marriage is a shambles. There are also murders, crooked businessmen, dirty cops, and a march for Black Lives Matter in this fast-paced book. Tyron finds he has to make tough choices between his head and his heart, his loyalty to his old friends, and standing up for what he believes is right.
It is easy to see why this book was a finalist for the Canadian Forest of Reading Evergreen Award. I gave this book 5 stars.
