This book lives up to it's hype and is such an important read for EVERYONE. The themes of: societal ingrained racism, making a difference in your community, classisim, gang culture, drug use, children acting as carers, conflicting identity, colliding cultures, mixed relationships, as all explored beautifully and some more than others. We see an exploration of bravery and survival strategies that if you are black you relate to and if you are white are eye opening. Within all this we have a positive black family, role models, parenting, healthy relationship, friendships, finding your voice and different ways of affecting change all done in a realistic way full of human understanding.

You are on Starr's side from the get go as you experience her story. You feel her pain, rage, fear and joy.
This is a book I will keep re-reading and recommending and I cannot wait to read concrete roses!

Wow. A masterpiece at its finest.

This book tackles very real problems, especially racism and police brutality. May I add, this is a MUST read for anyone. I felt so broken knowing that I'm reading a story where humans lives are on the line despite it not being their fault, it's the world. I wanted to stand up for them. I just wanted to jump in between the pages and fight back. Everything was so well written, I can't find one complaint at all. Angie Thomas is an incredible author.

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a couple of years now and I’m so glad I’ve finally been able to read it. This book got me quite emotional and very angry at the injustice in this but overall, it was an enjoyable read. I really felt for Starr and her hesitation to speak up for her best friend. Other characters I liked were Kenya and Seven and I just loveeeeeeee how these characters speak and the way their sentences flowed in my head XD.
