Damn, I did not know this book was so good. The story is real. Shit like this happens all the time and it's not okay. This book made me realise that even more.

I need to say that I hated officer one-fifteen. He was a freaking prick. Starr is such a strong character. She didn't even realised it herself, but she is. I loved the relationship of starrs parents. They are so cute together. Yeah, they are an OTP. Oh and f*ck Hailey.

The setting of the book is also real. I've never been in a ‘ghetto' so I don't know much about how close it is to reality, but it felt pretty close. I felt so bad for Maverick when things got down. He did not deserve that.

The only thing I have to say to people who didn't read the book yet, you should. This book is dang good and it needs to be read even more. Yeah, I know it's on number one in the New York Times bestselling list, but ya'll still need to read this!
