Such an amazing and powerful read. I honestly don’t know where to begin.
Starr is such a strong and amazing FMC. She works so hard to overcome her fear and trauma. It’s depicted in such a realistic and heartbreaking way.
The portrayal of her amazing family. A hardworking mother who overcame teenage pregnancy, a devoted father who turned his life around after a drug conviction and realized the best thing he could do was support his family and community, a protective older brother struggling to balance two family lives, and a sweet younger brother who is to young to understand the complex social events happening around him.
Such strong and realistic family dynamics. This story dives right into harsh and sensitive topics and manages to give them all the attention they deserve.
Seeing Khalil’s impact on his family and community even after he is gone was so emotional and powerful. Seeing the many ways this devastation can affect a community was amazing.
I especially loved seeing Starr come to terms with her two different lives combing.
I could rant about this amazing book for hours but to put it simply you have to read it to understand what a phenomenal job this author did and addressing this devastating topic.
