It's about a black man who gets accused of rape I believe (I haven't got to that part yet) but it's the first book assignment book I'm not being asked to read, I actually read it by choice, which is new to me.
It's really interesting. But anyhow, the P.O.V is seen through the eyes of Scout, the daughter of Atticus Finch (presumably the man accused of rape) and for some reason her older brother Jem (Jeremy) really reminds me of you for some reason
I'd suggest you read it, it's pretty funny at the start (although I'm only on page 55

)
