>"struck a nerve"...?!

(Meh..) I don't think so. From our brief interaction, I don't think there's not-a-thing you could say, nor do, that'll fade me. You're about as bothersome to me as..as a "sickly" plankton would be to an Orbiting Satellite.

>"I was just sayin that you wrote something that takes up half the page about two people that if you saw them on fire you wouldn’t piss on them and the only other place I see that is when two girls are arguing on FaceBook."

Well, at times, "precision", "thoughtfulness" and "truths" cannot be yelled-out in monosyllabic outbursts and groans (as much as you "rumps", parked in the "cheap seats", would like).

"Copper Sun". A novel about slavery, as told from the perspective of a 15-year-old African Girl captured and then shipped to the Carolinas.. Hmm... Now, you do know such a story, based on FACT, was ALREADY told? I guess a black woman writing about said 15-year-old African Girl brings a "fresh" perspective.. Well, I guess(Kanye Shrug). In any case, Ms. Draper's heart is in the right place.

Oh, re: "two girls are arguing on FaceBook." That reminds me: you do know "Copper Sun" is geared towards teenagers/High School-aged readers, right? That said, I'll have to take a pass. I'm sure you'll find it entertaining, compelling and you'll hang from every last dangling participle!
