So good I had to give 5.75. Very relatable book. I can relate to Starr the most. A MUST READ NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS!!!(New favourite book :P) Extremely informative and emotional though. Some hard parts.

Khalil's death causes lots of grief. Some violence from King and his gang. Starr almost dies from a fire(not that bad.)

4.0

I had been putting this book off for the longest time. I am not a huge contemporary fan (which is funny because when I do pick I up ones that interest me that are at least 4 stars), and with this being a beloved I was nervous that I would not enjoy it.

I'm glad that I finally did end up reading it. The characters and the challenges that they face had me not wanting to put the book down or stop the audiobook. Whilst contemporary will still not be my go to genre, I really did enjoy this book.
