3.5 stars 
 I received this copy from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. 
 I like this book, I found the characters interesting and the subject much in the air of time. 
 Some scenes of the book seemed a little rushed and ended quite quickly, much to my dismay but in all, I found it to be a nice and even educational (for me, as a non US citizen) read. 
 Even if the novel in itself isn't revolutionary in the genre (the ending was quite predictable), the characters felt real and not black and white (not pun intended) in their characterization. 
 I think this book would do great in a school library, if only to try to enlighten readers to situations that may not have crossed their minds before.
