The audio version of this book narrated by Bahni Turpin is masterful. I only wish I had read it sooner.

This book is emotional and extremely relevant. As someone who has PTSD and personal trauma regarding violent trauma and police I found this book extremely relatable in many ways. The way the author describes grief and trauma and how flashbacks of traumatic events can sneak into your thoughts during normal life, the way that

the funeral for Khalil and the visions of him bleeding in the street, visions of Natasha’s body dropping after being shot, the nightmares, all of it

is all very accurate and can definitely be very triggering. I recommend this book for people who have trauma with police but please just be aware that it can be very triggering, I also recommend this book for anyone that has trouble understanding why people don’t trust the police, fear them, or even hate them, because this book could be very eye opening for you.

I decided to read this one when the local school board took it out of the curriculum. Really powerful stuff.

This book has been one of my oldest books on my physical TBR. Glad I finally picked it up, because it was better than I expected. Since this is such a popular book and also a movie, I read and saw a lot about this book already, also it is a YA book (which I tend to enjoy less than adult books) and I therefore thought it might be unnessecary to read the book.

Even though I already knew a lot about the book it was not boring. The book is divided in clear parts and the dialogue is really realistic. I also think the characters are written appropriately for their age, sometimes authots portray characters a lot younger or older than the character is. 
I also was scared that the book would be too dark and heavy for me to read. It was still dark and emotional, but it was not too heavy because of the mant funny and lighthearted moments. I think this was done in such a great way!

This is such an important book, especially very reflective and informative for young readers. But, as someone who does not live in the US it was informative as well. In my opionion, this book is also very appropriate for adults, even though this book is meant for a more YA audience.

There is a scene where arson is committed. There are also drug additions and liquor addictions.
