The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

I can't even begin to describe how impacting this book is for me and for our society. Just incredible... read it, just read it.

4/7
best book of 2017 I've read thus far, and completely life changing. It doesn't matter who you are or where you think you stand politically, please read this book. It inspires reader empathy and spits truth about social injustice in our country right now, which is SUCH a powerful combination, so many thanks to Angie Thomas for providing a debut novel with such mastery. I not only adored the main character Starr, but I laughed out loud and ugly-cried as I read this book. Thomas writes fear, courage, helplessness, dominance, injustice, unity, and reality in this novel, and I'm forever grateful that I have this book in my arsenal as a future teacher. ❤
