Losing loved ones, them being killed even though they did nothing wrong, rasicm in all kinds of forms, the stories of black people who have to endure all of that and more, it is simply astonishing how Angie Thomas brought all of that together in one book. It is so informativ yet emotional at the same time and it expands your horizon.
Besides that, Angie Thomas provides us with various different perspectives on this important topic whilst developing these characters in such a good way (especially the main protagonist, Starr). I also loved the way that all names had some special meaning behind it.
All in all a great book about a topic which we have to talk about. I definitely recommend it!

There is a scene where arson is committed. There are also drug additions and liquor addictions.
