borrowed a copy of this from a coworker, and i’m already planning when i can re-read my own copy and annotate it for myself! starr felt like a mirror in many ways, and a fierce reminder that our work doesn’t stop. i appreciate the nuance that thomas presented in depicting the themes in this novel, and i feel that readers of all backgrounds can learn something from this story.

The Hate U Give tells, in my opinion the important and powerful perspective of a black community regarding racial policing/injustice (precisely in North America).
Star and her family were quite impressive to be: They (or at least one of them) have/s faced almost every struggle a person can, and still managed to overcome all of it.
I haven’t read many books on racial inequality or injustice yet, but I truly feel like this one is important and a good starting point. Angie Thomas precisely highlights the confrontations black individuals face, while keeping the story going with a plot, engaging the reader.
Star’s and her friends’ stories were gripping and incredibly important to talk/read about. Black citizens continually face discrimination or aggressions based on their skin colour. This novel truly shook me awake in a certain way.
