Love, Hate & Other Filters by Samira Ahmed

4.0

I read this in one day and night. Great story! Maya is 17, American born of Indian parents, being raised in a small, mostly white town. She's trying to navigate between her family traditions and being American, and struggling to reach her dreams and establish her own identity apart from the expectations of her parents. And, she's also trying to figure out which of two great guys are worth spending more time with. All pretty classic stuff, so far. Meanwhile, a boy is being raised into a man under horrific conditions, fed hate and loneliness, and is hurtling towards his own destructive destiny.
For readers of Jhumpa Lahiri or fans of The Hate U Give, this is your next great read. #ownvoices
