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.

Just a terrific book, I couldn't put it down. A very accessible read, and good insight to the reasons behind a lot of major societal issues, like police violence against marginalized people, the existence of gangs, the illegal drug trade, and more. Non-Black North Americans of all ages would surely benefit from reading this book, and hopefully grow some empathy and understanding from hearing the viewpoint of people that is underrepresented in the mainstream.

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.
