I listened to this as an audiobook and chef's kiss. The story is emotional, well told, and the narrator's performance was phenomenal. I really felt like I had stepped into being Star and feeling her emotions as the story unfolded. I will never fully know or understand black people's life experiences but I hope this book was a reasonable look into a possible experience a family could have, especially surrounding a police shooting.
