Starr and her family are beautifully rich characters. Thereβs so much complexity to each of them (Sekani less so but he gets a pass for being the youngest) and I think itβs a great credit to Angie Thomas that she was able to make all of them so flawed and real and show their individual growth during an immensely stressful time in their lives.
The only reason this isnβt a five star read for me is that some of the Williamson scenes felt heavy handed and clunky. Haileyβs awful behavior was somehow too much and not enough at the same time. There was so much going on with everything that there was bound to be a low point. Some points are earned back for when Starr punches her in the face though.

Note about the use of racial slurs: Iβve tagged this because they are present however they are only said by POC, most notably during segments of song lyrics.trashgobby's review against another edition

It is incredibly relevent to what is occurring in our country and the impact of systemic racism.
