This book was just phenomenal. I thought the pacing was great and the writing was easy to understand and keep up with. I loved the characters and empathized with Star. I felt like every character was alive and their personalities jumped off the pages and made them real which a lot of books strive to do.
This book made me tear up so many times and it was so hard to keep those tears back while I was at work. I really wish this wasn’t still our current reality but I liked that the book didn’t sugarcoat it and make it seem like everything was going to be fine soon. Instead it left us with a message that everyone needs to continue to work together to change the system and we shouldn’t stop doing the right thing no matter what. We should always be trying to make things better than they were before.
