I’ve already agreed to borrow this to my older brother and my dad, hoping that they’ll enjoy it as much as I did. Every single one was flawed, and the reason this only made me fall even more in love with the story is that it’s so realistic. Yes, Thomas portrays black characters as having their own dialect, being drug dealers and basketball players, their neighborhoods being incredibly violent and dangerous, but, none of this justifies the fact that the police officer murdered an unarmed child – Khalil. To go through something so difficult at such a young age, it’s no surprise that Starr ends up struggling immensely with guilt and her sense of belonging.

Black lives are taken by white police because of the colour of their skin! I need to help, I need to read black authors I need to hear their voices as well. Amandla Stenberg is absolutely incredible! The amount of stereotypes in the novel made me question it at first.
