This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I read this book as part of my works book club. I had had this on my TBR pile for a little while so I was excited to jump in.

This is one of those books that no review would do justice. It's such a powerful and important story. It's also, sadly, still very relevant. Angie pulled me in from the very beginning and left me thinking about this story for a long time after. I know it's one I won't forget in a hurry. It's one thing to read about this topic on the news but to see it through a 16-year-olds eyes is something else. Starr is a very brave young girl. She is relatable and very personable.

Starr has such great friends and family too. I'd love to see spin-off books for more of these characters.

I am used to reading YA but usually, it's YA fantasy so it was a bit of a change to read a YA contemporary. I enjoyed the change of pace. I really liked Angie's writing style and I'm excited to read more of her books.
