A review by rainbowbookworm
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

Reading this a week after the Philando Castile verdict made this especially poignant and relevant. So much has been said about this book, that I am not sure what I can add, but I will say this: Like many readers I often get asked what my favorite book is. After explaining it is hard to choose just one, I offer a nonfiction title whose ending surprised me. My answer will now change. I will henceforth answer without hesitation that this is my favorite book.

I know that books, movies, etc. seldom live up to their hype when you put them on a pedestal, but I urge you to pick this one up and read it. You will not regret it.
