I could listen to Angie Thomas novels all day long, especially when Bahni Turpin is the narrator!

Alongside the Black trauma scenes, there is also Black joy, resiliency and brilliancy weaved into this story. I loved living inside 16-year-old Bri’s world for 12 hours. Can’t wait to watch the film adaptation!
