Update

I thought this book would burn out after awhile but pushing through page by page I seem to have gotten addicted. So far in my book, its Lily's birthday. her father being stubborn and not letting her do anything, she leaves for a walk across town with their maid Rosaleen. Doesn't sound like much of a birthday does it? Well to Lily it means the world to her to get out for her birthday and so far shes enjoying every second. A thing I noticed though is that there is a tad of racism (the books setting dates back to 1964 so it ties in). At times the racism can be a bit instigating it adds more volume if you wanna to the characters who deal with it like Rosaleen for example. Lily and Rosaleen stop in the church on the hot day to cool off; soon the preacher saw them both and he didn't look to happy to see Rosaleen.
"Then he saw Rosaleen and started to rub the bald space on his head with such agitation I thought he might rub down to the skull bone." in this quote it shows the preacher is agitated or uncomfortable with Rosaleen's presence which lily can clearly see. another incident is when lily and Rosaleen go to this place so Rosaleen can vote and three men harass Rosaleen saying racial slurs (ones better off not typed in quote due to its nature and controversy) lily tried her best to protect Rosaleen but she was too stubborn and spoke back to the men. I had to cut off there cause I don't wanna spoil too much but this book deals with a lot and I absolutely love it!
