i won't lie, i HATE reading a digital book so my reading experience was somewhat different than i would have liked it to be but this book is, was, and will continue to be incredibly powerful! i will always always always value an honest depiction of race and what it feels like to be a black girl in a pwi and the plight of starr and khalil is so emotional i just felt so connected to the book

Very interesting read

The only thing that icked me was the YA-ess of it, -sometimes it was a bit cringy- and the very subtle misogyny against Iesa (slut-shaming)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I had troubles with the writing style at first. 

I had very high expectations for this book, and it’s not that the expectations weren’t met, it just wasn’t as good as I had expected it to be.

The message in the book is amazing, and it’s something that needs to be spread and I thing that Thomas did an amazing job with it.
