The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
5.0

Why, the fuck, did I wait until 2019 to read this book

5/5 stars (obviously)

So this definitely lived up to its reputation. Like, it surpassed its reputation.

I went into this book thinking it was about police violence against people of colour. HA was I wrong. Yeah, that's a big part of this story. But it talks about so much more than that and I wasn't prepared for the impact this would have on me.

I'm not the person to review this book for you. Instead I'm going to leave a book talk here for you to watch. It's not my place, but it is their's
