Starr es una chica de dieciséis años de edad que vive entre dos mundos: el barrio pobre de gente negra donde nació, y su instituto situado en un elegante barrio residencial blanco. El difícil equilibrio entre ambos se hace añicos cuando ella se convierte en testigo de la muerte a tiros de su mejor amigo, Khalil, a manos de un policia. A partir de ese momento, todo lo que Starr diga acerca de la aterradora noche que cambio su vida podra ser usado de excusa por unos y como arma por otros. Y lo peor de todo es que, tanto los de un lado como los de otro, la tienen en el punto de mira y amenazan con poner fin a su vida. Inspirado por el movimiento Black Lives Matter, el debut de Angie Thomas sobre una chica normal sometida a unas durisimas circunstancias aborda cuestiones de racismo y violencia policial con inteligencia, corazon y una honestidad inquebrantable.
