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.
