The writing and dialogue in The Hate U Give feels real.</b>I really felt for the characters and the dialogue is authentic. I loved their relationships with each other and how they cared for their neighborhood. They all felt real because of the writing.
A peek into the inner-city neighborhood. I felt like this book gave me a glimpse into inner city life and why things are the way they are. I especially liked what Starr's father said about people leaving, but never coming back. I feel this was the best part about this book.
This book is very important and I'm glad it's getting movie and should be a requirement read for schools.
