Starred review

In book reviews, a starred review is a review marked with a star to denote a book of distinction or particularly high quality.[1][2] A starred review can help to increase sales of a book.[3][4][5]

Kirkus Reviews faced criticism in 2017 after it removed its starred review from American Heart by Laura Moriarty after criticism was leveled at the book for having a white savior narrative.[6]
