 I loved this. Finished in 2 days!

The message and delivery was fantastic. Had me laughing as well as sick to my stomach. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fictional (but still very real) perspective, rather than reading non-fiction.

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.

This book was well written and decently paced. I found the author could easily swim in and out of challenging topics and into light-hearted moments with ease. I really appreciated that aspect of the book a lot. I was choked up multiple times, shed tears, and laughed out loud as I experienced the story of Starr Carter and her family. I found that the material was presented in a manner that was very accessible without overly indulging in the violence. I also appreciated the inner monologue of the main character struggling between her two selves in two different cultures. I recommend this book to everyone.
