This book was poignant and real and raw. I have several praises for it: 
 -It is relevant and necessary for this time period and this generation 
 -It had one of the best, truest family relationships I have every read in a YA novel 
 -It has an accurate, albeit devastating, portrayal of PSTD and trauma 
 -Starr's voice was clear, beautiful, flawed and well-rounded 
 -The characters had their dramatic functions but were fleshed out and each played a role in the story 
 -I couldn't put it down 
 -It displayed the ups and downs of friendship, romantic relationships, familial relationships and the relationship with oneself as they change and strengthen and get tested 
 -I learned so much about a culture I realized I knew little to nothing about 
 -There was surprising humor and playfulness amongst such a difficult storyline 
 -I want to read it again 
 Excellent. So happy I bought it. I will recommend it to anyone and everyone. It is an important piece of literature and I am so happy it is in this world. 
 Conclusion: Keep (may have to buy another copy cause my sister might steal mine from me)
