TL;TR
Get ready for a ride with Starr as she deals with the death of a friend being painted as a thug and the trauma from that night while trying to balance her life between where she lives with her family and where she goes to school.

I'm honestly still not over how incredible this book was. Angie Thomas delivered a fresh, raw and relevant narrative that showcased the harsh realities that black people go through in life. Starr's character really relayed the vulnerability of the situation and her character only empowered me more to speak up on issues that I face as a gay, genderqueer Teen.
If you've not picked this book up yet then please do!

Wow. I thought this book was really well-written. It tells the story through a sixteen-year-old's point of view, and I thought the author nailed it, sneaking some humor in with the tragedy and describing things in a way only a teenager could. The story itself was heart-wrenching. I read it as if it were a true story, which made it even more impactful. Though I know it wasn't actually a true story, I know that there have been many stories like this one in the world and on the news, and it was really powerful to be able to read a whole novel talking about it.
I actually saw this book while I was doing a practicum in a high school. I sat in on an English class for about two weeks, and one girl was reading this book. I stopped and asked her about it and she told me it was really sad. I saw it a few more times during those two weeks in the hands of several other students, and so I thought I'd put it on my list. Since I want to be a teacher, I feel like I should keep up on the literature students are reading, which was one of my motives for reading the book. Reading also makes you see things from a new perspective, which is another reason I wanted to read this one. I knew it was about something vastly important to talk about in our society: the issue of racism and the affects it has on children and students.
I can by no means say that I understand what it's like to live the life of the main character or someone in a similar situation now that I've read this book, but it has opened my eyes to a world very different from the one I live in, one whose existence I should not be ignorant of. The world needs change, and it needs brave people to help it do so. That is the main message I took from this book.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick read but one that for sure left an impact.

Edit:
It is times like these that I'm reminded of how powerful this book is. I don't know about you but I need to read more books by black writers (I've only read a few) and support them. In case you still haven't picked up this book now is the time. Read all kinds of books by black writers not just those about racial injustice.
What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?
Remember staying neutral means you have chosen the side of the oppressors. Listen to black people. Support their businesses and books etc. Don't act like you're a saviour by doing the normal. Don't talk like "what about them" Palestinians etc. Saying black lives matter does not negate any other lives worth. When talking about Palestinians you don't bring up black people either. If you're white don't compare your problems to racial injustice and say it happens to you too. In fact if you do something like that you're racist and fuck you stay away. Speak against any racist comments you see and stop them. Growing up South Asian a lot of us were taught in colourism and racism. Speak against it. Sign petitions, protest and donate if you can. Remember their names and don't let them become hashtags. Actively be Anti Racist. No kid deserves to be afraid that they'd be shot by cops while being innocent. No black parents deserve to give that kind of The talk to their children. Enough is enough. It's literally the 21st century and somehow white supremacists are still free to commit murder be accomplices and go absolutely free.
To black friends seeing this:
“Your voices matter, your dreams matter, your lives matter. Be the roses that grow in the concrete.”
Black lives matter. Not just now. They've always mattered. They'll always matter. So remember this even if the media forgets it.

Maybe this can be it.
There are a few books that you remember for the rest of your of your life. This is one of them.
I did primary school from London. I honestly don't think I ever felt left out, there were people of every colour including mine. But there were a few kids that called people of my colour "freshies" but I didn't think it was such a big deal. Now that I think of of it, I find it weird that even kids in primary school used this word to discriminate people of my colour for our culture, accents etc.
I honestly can't say anything about this book that hasn't been said. But believe me this book is so worth the hype.
One of my favourite parts of this book was the family dynamics. Don't you just hate it when parents don't say much in YA books. This book has realistic parents.
This book is beautiful and everyone needs to read it
