Instead of writing caricatures of teens, Thomas has breathed life into vivid characters - ones who talk like real-life teens, are flawed and lost but also insightful and self-aware. We meet Starr Carter - a sixteen year-old girl with strong roots in a rough community who attends a predominantly white private school. Starr has seen her fair share of strife and also carries with her a traumatic episode from her childhood. When she again bears witness to a devastating and eye-opening incident, the fracture between her two worlds feels irreparable. Is it? This one is definitely a must-read.
