I love Angie Thomas' writing and like her previous two books, once I started reading this I couldn't stop. Her characters are complex and realistic and I felt totally involved their lives. It's been about three years since I read The Hate U Give but I still remember it so vividly and I think that's because of her characters and the atmosphere she creates. Since this is its prequel I knew roughly what to expect from the storyline so it was really interesting seeing all the pieces slot into place.
