⭐️4.5⭐️ Bri is such a dynamic character who both understands her circumstances but has a lot to learn about the world and her place in it, both as a result of and in spite of her being a young black woman. I appreciated that, in this novel, Angie Thomas lightly explores the threat of violence that can come to young black women in America. The family dynamic is really amazing, and I do appreciate how much of Bri’s friendships is explored as she grows and changes as a person. I’m excited for the next Angie Thomas book!
