The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

You know how you're scared to read a book because you've heard so many good things you're afraid it won't live up to the hype? That was this book for me. I also don't normally read contemporary YA, so I was worried that would affect my opinion as well. Boy was I wrong. I devoured this book in one night. Anyone who has been paying the slightest attention to what's going on in the news recently can understand how relevant and how necessary Starr's story is to hear. I'm actually sad that I'm on maternity leave and can't pass this one on to my students faster.
