FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Convicted by Jameel McGee & Andrew Collins was a fantastic book. When I read the description of this book, I knew I had to read it and review it. This book talks about things that most people know is going on but it is different when you are reading a story about someone who lived through it. It also makes me sad that cops do things like this. I also know that because I am a white person I have no way of understanding how it is really for other people in this country. I did love seeing how they both changed throughout the book and I would be lying if I didn’t say that I hoped that Jameel would punch Andrew in the face at some point. I am glad that he never did, but I hoped that he would go through the entire book. I think this is a book that everyone needs to read because we all can learn from this story.
