She especially can\u2019t stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding.<br \/>\nBut with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick\u2019s changing landscape, or lose it all.&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/37677964-pride\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Zoboi gives so much energy and contemporary insight into a story we\u2019ve heard rehashed so many times. Zuri was an incredibly compelling and brilliant narrator whose authenticity and ability to call people on their nonsense makes her one of the best heroines I\u2019ve read in ages.
