Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves be- tween two worlds: the poor neighborhood she lives in and the suburban prep school she attends. That uneasy balance is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shoot- ing of her childhood best friend by a police officer. Khalil was unarmed, and soon his death is a national headline. Some call him a thug. Others take to the streets in Khalil's name. Everyone wants to know what really went down that night. Only one person can answer that. But what Starr says could up- end her community — and endanger her life.
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.

I actually read this book earlier this year and absolutely loved it. The book was very emotional. If you have not ready yet you may want to have tissues ready and for some parts make sure your anger is in check because some things will push those buttons.
I watched the movie over the summer and I recommend people to watch that as well.
