This was such a powerful story and is such an important story to tell. Starr lives almost a double-life balancing her identity in her family and the neighborhood she grew up in with her social identity at her predominantly-white school. Mostly she has coasted with both by becoming a social chameleon and keeping a low profile, but when a good friend is shot (unarmed) in an arrest gone very, very wrong, she realizes that playing the middle ground means that she's also giving up a lot of herself and she can't afford to do that anymore.
The timeliness and the resonance of the story is undeniable, but even aside from that, it was really impressive how Thomas manages to break down so many different arguments/excuses/justifications that people have when these terrible things happen so you really have a 360 view of the influences and the repercussions of these tragedies on a community.
It should be required reading for high school.

It was a great book! It really helps you get another perspective on racism and the pain that black people have had to live through and it's sad to realize what happens in our world. To anybody who is thinking about reading this book, I totally recommend it.

Jolie claque qu’est ce livre ! J’ai été émue par cette histoire, même si ici en France le racisme peut être vu différemment, il est présent et ce sont des livres comme celui ci qui peuvent peut être faire changer les choses !
Everyone. EVERYONE Should read this book. Angie Thomas is truly gifted. The world needs more Angie Thomas.
