The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

I started reading this book with a little notion of what this book is about, and once I finished, it instantly became one of my favorite. The Hate U Give follows Starr Carter's loss of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of police brutality. From that, the reader follows the aftermath of Khalil's death, how Starr deals with fighting to get the justice that her friend, and the multiple people who have lost their lives at the police's hands without earning any justice.
I enjoyed how Starr finds her voice and recognizes her own identity. Also, Starr's family dynamic was fun to read. They were entertaining. Kenya, DeVante, Chris, and Maya; amazing characters.
