A true crime story that explores the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of our actions, set in the context of a bus ride that changed the lives of everyone involved. On a bus ride in Oakland, California, a group of teenagers beat a classmate, and the crime is recorded and shared on social media. The book delves into the lives of the perpetrators, the victim, and the bystanders, and examines the factors that led to the assault and its aftermath. The author, Dashka Slater, uses this incident as a lens to explore themes of race, class, gender, sexuality, and the role of social media in our lives. The book is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, and the ways in which our actions can have far-reaching consequences.
