This book was absolutely amazing. Everyone should read this book. It hits hard and examines very important and relevant issues. The characters feel so real and their relationships are great (not just in a romantic sense of the word). Just read it, it's definitely deserving of all the hype it's gotten and more.

Well written book painting what I am learning more and more is an accurate picture of the lives, fears and assumptions many people of color in our country encounter.

This book has been on my TBR list for awhile. Very honest and thought provoking book. I highly recommend it. It gave me insight into lives and experiences I don’t know firsthand. I need to know more about to better understand our world. Great book.

This book is PHENOMENAL!!! This book is so so good! It will make you cry, laugh, feel angry, and heartbroken, and happy, and encouraged, and empowered, sometimes all at once. The book's message is extremely powerful and needs to be heard by all. Truly an amazing book that I am so glad I got to read.

I wasn't sure about this one when I first started it but it pulled me into its orbit! I couldn't get enough! Now I want to read the prequel! EXCELLENT on audio.
