Everyone should read this book! What a powerful message for today's society. This stuff still happens, people are still segregating in their heads. Why has is it taking so long for people to see that we are ALL human, ALL worthy, and that we ALL matter?

This is an explosive and emotional story, so be prepared for that. But I feel like it's so important, even or especially in today's social climate. While some of us may think that situations like those presented in the book are in the past, unfortunately we are still facing some of these prejudices and we need to stand up and fight for equality of all people.

I enjoyed the growth and depth of character in Star. She thought she had to live separate lives depending on what side of town she was on. This story shows her and the reader how much better it is to be yourself always. The people who truly care about you want to know the real you anyway.
