Perfect for fans of The Hate U Give, this unforgettable coming-of-age debut novel explores issues of race, class, and violence through the eyes of a wealthy black teenager whose family gets caught in the vortex of the 1992 Rodney King Riots.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles, 1992<\/p>\n

Ashley Bennett and her friends are living the charmed life. It\u2019s the end of senior year and they\u2019re spending more time at the beach than in the classroom. They can already feel the sunny days and endless possibilities of summer.<\/p>\n

Everything changes one afternoon in April, when four LAPD officers are acquitted after beating a black man named Rodney King half to death. Suddenly, Ashley\u2019s not just one of the girls. She\u2019s one of the black kids.<\/p>\n

As violent protests engulf LA and the city burns, Ashley tries to continue on as if life were normal. Even as her self-destructive sister gets dangerously involved in the riots. Even as the model black family fa\u00e7ade her wealthy and prominent parents have built starts to crumble. Even as her best friends help spread a rumor that could completely derail the future of her classmate and fellow black kid, LaShawn Johnson.<\/p>\n

With her world splintering around her, Ashley, along with the rest of LA, is left to question who is the us? And who is the them? <\/p>\n
