I absolutely raced through this. I laughed and cried, with and for the characters. 
I really believed Starr was a teenager and I found it funny how Tumblr is her world because that was so me. 
This story is about so many real people and anger and pain and suffering. It gives humanity to names on the news because no one deserves to die because of their skin or who they are and what they have done.

I have got to be more careful with grief-heavy books. I know I'm behind the trend with this one, but it is still as relevant as ever.

This book was lent to me by my good friend Bailey and I loved it!!! It is chilling, cruel and unacceptable to know that police brutality was and still is very much a problem that needs to be dealt with. These families and communities should never be forced to go this far just to be seen, heard and justified. Starr knew grief, trauma and loss far too young. She is one of many. “Sometimes you can do everything right and things still go wrong; the key is to never stop doing right.” An inspiring quote Starr’s mother often shared with her. They shouldn’t have to repeat this to themselves as often as they do. Black Lives Matter and it’s about fucking time we as a society start treating them like they do. Justice for Oscar Grant. Justice for Trayvon Martin. Justice for Tamir Rice. Justice for them all. No freedom until we are ALL equal, respected and free. I will continue to use my voice to demand this change.
