The real draw of this book for me was the way the characters handled their grief over the loss of their friend to gun violence. There's a timeliness to that particular storyline. But what I loved was the demonstration of civil disobedience through public art. Art, and its display on social media, as a way to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. I also loved the podcast. It was a deft way to introduce information that could have been seen as didactic in any other format. Definitely worth the read.
