This will be a book that defines this century. If you read one book this year, make it this one. Whether you're white or black, living in America or on the other side of the world. Everyone should read this incredible book. This story, while fiction, really isn't. Because these things happens everyday. As a white reader, I'm privileged in the fact that I don't face the same struggles as Starr, her family, and her friends. But this book takes you first hand into what they're facing. It opens your eyes. It's moving. It's loud. It shouts, "look at me! See what is happening!" It makes you look and see. Even if you don't want to.
