Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a powerful and gripping young-adult novel about one girl's struggle for justice.
Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy balance between them is shattered when Starr is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community. It could also get her killed.

Starr is a 16-year-old black girl living in parallel worlds, teetering between the poor neighbourhood where she was raised and the posh suburban high school she attends. But when she witnesses a deadly act of police violence, that fraught balancing act falls apart. Her fellow students know nothing of what it's like to live under that shadow of fear.
Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and the instances of racially-motivated violence in America that the activist group was born from, this powerful and gripping audiobook by Angie Thomas is moving, topical and compelling. Award-winning narrator Bahni Turpin adds an emotive edge to Starr’s struggle for justice, guiding listeners through each moment of joy, anger and heartbreak.

I will say that it's interesting to see how this book will be viewed decades later. Much like how Noughts and Crosses still feels shockingly relevant now, but with new context, this story still feels extremely fresh, while also leaving room for different conclusions to be drawn based on the current climate in 2020. This is worth the read at any time as Angie Thomas is an excellent writer, but right now is perhaps the best time to read it. Well worth it!
Nuanced and empathetic, well worth the read!
