This dual-authored novel is dual-narrated by Lena and Campbell, a Black and a white girl who get caught up in a riot. They begin the night strangers, but in having to rely on one another become close. New in town Campbell is ignorantly, but actively racist. Lena has a boyfriend who may not be that into her.
Lena is a compelling character--strong and surprising. Campbell--not so much. I appreciate the premise of the story, but the telling didn't do much for me.
