I am not the target audience so take this with a pinch of salt.
I thought the characters were annoying. But they are teenagers.

I enjoyed this book, mostly. I think the author included too many povs and it seemed there were two plot lines that could have both been books, not smushed into one.

The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale

4.0
Really informative and an easy book to introduce the topic of police abolition.
In my opinion, I think it doesn’t go far enough (or maybe it was toned down to get published? Dunno.). I also wish that it focused on capitalism’s need for punitive policing a bit more.

Too excitable. Too many exclamation marks used. I felt like I was reading a Wattpad entry of a lovesick fifteen year old who recently finished a course in short-story fiction.
