I'm Not Dying with You Tonight by Kimberly Jones and Gilly Segal is about two high school girls who don't really know each other. One is black. One is white and new to the neighborhood. They get caught up in a riot that may make you think differently about riots and race and neighborhoods.
This was a quick read, and although not too deep, it was energetic and brought the reader into the center of a riot. I could relate to both of the voices and thought they were represented well.
While this wasn't a favorite Young Adult novel. It was quick. It was topical. It felt important.
