4.0
Emotional, political and radically accessible. The Hate U Give is an essential novel that is living proof of the importance of YA fiction and it’s presence at the forefront of literature amongst other stories that it would be a disservice not to share.
Angie Thomas crafts an engaging narrative full of strong and complex characters that demand to be heard. I adored this book for so many different reasons (masterful dialogue and stellar character development included) but mostly for its ability to place power and knowledge into the hands of young people.
This book tackles complex issues of race, identity, responsibility, love and choice with devour-able tenacity.
