This is a very interesting and unique book.
Ella has a "Thing" she has many different abilities, her brother Kev - born during the 1992 LA riots - is in Rikers. Their mom is a single mom working as a nurse.
This is a little sci-fi, a little magical realism, a bit dystopian, and a whole lot of Black America. I love how he tackled Black women healthcare and systematic oppression. It came together and totally worked.
