This book was picked for a book club read. The narrator for the audiobook did an excellent job with the story.

The subject is heavy, the book made me depressed and sad for our world.

What a fantastic book! I listened to this in audio format, and Bahni Turpin did an outstanding job!
This debut book by Angie Thomas has heart, and energy and realism -- that left this reader sad for the current complex state of race relations in the US, but hopeful for the future.
We need more Starrs in our galaxy!
