Jim's Review
🐛
Jim doesn't have a voice box, but this book makes you want to shout from the rooftops. Thomas writes with urgency, authenticity, and a deep love for her community. Starr's journey from silent witness to fierce advocate is powerful and necessary. This is the kind of book that changes how you see the world. Jim gave it five worms and wishes he could give it more.
