A review by foosreadsandwrites
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

As absolutely everyone has said, this book is excellent. Some major topics that get explored:
- do I stay in a bad situation to make it better, or do I leave for me?
- what defines my identity; can I hold conflicting ideas in the same self?
- are cops bad (honestly, I was surprised by the book’s take on this)?

There are many more, but I spent a lot of my time thinking about what the book had to say on those three.

I hope you read it, too :)


**note for my future self - remember reading this your first year at JMS for book club? So honored to have spent that time with those kids.**
