Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy balance between them is shattered when Starr is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community. It could also get her killed.
Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a powerful and gripping YA novel about one girl's struggle for justice.
Fans of Jennifer Dugan and Laura Taylor Namey will fall in love
with this latest YA romance by Wattpad superstar Alex Light, author
of The Upside of Falling. Eden had her best friend Katie—she
didn’t need anyone else. But then there was Truman. Katie’s
older brother, the artist. The recluse. The boy with the innocent
smile and the dangerous eyes. Eden had never really known
Truman—not until the night of Katie’s accident. That was the
night they’d finally let each other into their orbits—only to
have the sky come crashing down on them. With Katie in the hospital
and Truman fleeing from his grief without a word, Eden is left
alone to grapple with her own pain. But when Truman returns to the
city, can Eden let him back into her life knowing that their first
kiss is what tore their world apart?

Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14:
Debate Club.
Her father's "bunny rabbit."
A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school.
Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15:
A knockout figure.
A sharp tongue.
A chip on her shoulder.
And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy,
word-obsessed Matthew Livingston.
Frankie Landau-Banks.
No longer the kind of girl to take "no" for an answer.
Especially when "no" means she's excluded from her boyfriend's
all-male secret society.
Not when her ex-boyfriend shows up in the strangest of
places.
Not when she knows she's smarter than any of them.
When she knows Matthew's lying to her.
And when there are so many, many pranks to be done.
Frankie Landau-Banks, at age 16:
Possibly a criminal mastermind.
This is the story of how she got that way.
