A sharp indictment, Baker makes a powerful and passionate statement about real justice embedded in a well-constructed plot populated by vivid characters.” —Booklist, starred review“Jennifer Baker crafts a riveting, heartbreaking, and ultimately redemptive tale with nuanced characters that are perfectly flawed and relatable. Forgive Me Not is an astute social commentary on the juvenile justice system and a powerful reflection on who deserves second chances. A groundbreaking debut that will stay with the reader long after the story ends.” —Renée Watson, #1 New York Times bestselling author, The 1619 Project: Born on the Water“Unflinching and character-driven, Forgive Me Not confronts difficult questions about identity, family, and forgiveness. A potent reminder of the personal and societal harm caused by dehumanizing systems.” —Randy Ribay, National Book Award Finalist, Patron Saints of Nothing“Brilliant, bold, and deeply moving, Forgive Me Not shines a necessary and dignifying light on the young people trapped in a broken system of justice. This novel radiates with the redemptive power of love and forgiveness.” —Brendan Kiely, co-author of the New York Times bestselling All American Boys and The Other Talk “Eye-opening… draws parallels to the inequality of the justice system in the United States, particularly its treatment of Black people and people of color … An important addition to teen library collections.” —School Library Journal “Baker’s writing excels at showing rather than telling through vivid details.” —Kirkus Reviews“Through resonant alternating perspectives, debut author Baker empathetically examines the harsh treatment of Black youth in the justice system. Affecting depictions of addiction and reform contribute to the novel’s overarching interrogation of blame, guilt, and self-forgiveness.” —Publishers Weekly
