Angie Thomas is so good at what she does! This book had heart. I definitely felt like an adult looking in at these teens making less than smart decisions, but I fell in love with these characters too. Thomas just knows how to balance a little bit of humor, everyday struggles and hard themes. I can only hit myself on the head for not picking this book up earlier.
