The Boy in the Black Suit by Jason Reynolds
I finished up my Black History Month reading with this one. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while and is a winner of the Coretta Scott King Book Awards in 2016. It doesn't feel like there's anything specifically "black" about this book - it could be any teen going through a rough period due to circumstances. Culturally the novel is black-American but that doesn't stop it from being relatable to anyone. The feelings are the thing. And so many people go through what Matt does.
If you're looking for a simple read with some complicated emotions, this is for you.
