Wow, this was a devastating and moving story. The characters were well written, complex and everyone kind of had their own struggles. It was gut-wrenching to read about all the police violence , and  the cruelty Starr had to face, because people didn’t believe her

especially her so called best friend Hailey

. I think it’s important that many people hear stories as this one, specifically in times like these were racist parties gain more and more popularity among the youth. 
Very happy, that this book was part of my curriculum!
