Story
When Harlem gets off on a murder charge due to insanity, the asylum he’s sent to feels worse than death, with one exception: the beautiful Nurse Daphane. As their relationship grows, so do the stakes: She has the ability to help him escape, and he has the ability to set her free from her abusive relationship. Yet Harlem has one big secret: He was perfectly sane when he committed his crime. But in the end, Daphane’s own secret may be the deadliest of all....

The ending was predictable, but, nonetheless, the book was entertaining. I finished it in one sitting while working remotely. The narrator tells a good story and the sound of his voice is very sexy. All I can say is, what's goes around, comes around. I think you will enjoy this book too

sadly we live in a world where people will never accept systematic racism as real. or, they choose to look away. the speakers are right. we have to continue to use our collective voices until the oppressors take action. the damage is not ours to repair, but on the ones who created the issue

Story
Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

the narration of this book was excellent. I was captivated by the truths told by the author. Coates eloquently describes in vivid details the social and systematic injustices that continue to follow people of color. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Story
Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life. Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.
