I loved this book, not only because of how it tackled incredibly important topics such as racism and police brutality, but also because of how real the characters felt and how you began to care for them just as much as Starr did. It also shows the effect of what racism has on Starr and how much it has drastically changed her life and forced her to experience and see terrible things that she didn’t deserve to. Although it is uncomfortable to read at times, it tells you a very honest and meaningful message. It is an extremely relevant and thought provoking book and I would definitely recommend reading it.
