Absolutely outstanding book.
16-year old Starr Carter is a black teenager who goes to a white school. One night she is witness to a cop killing her friend Khalil for no reason, and this event changes her whole life.
Absolutely engaging cast of characters, told in a gripping way, wish every teenager read this book. Or anyone really.
I don't have the words to praise this book enough.

This is a damn near perfect book. I can't say enough good things about it so I'm not even going to start. If you've been thinking about reading it, just read it.
I'm nervous to watch the film now though cause I'm not sure how it can capture the beauty of what I just read.
Good God, this book packs a mean punch. Very powerful, very important without being preachy, with characters that feel incredibly real and very effective writing. Amazing.
