The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

WOW. This was not a light read by any means, but was so well written. This book highlights the roles of race and white privilege from a 16 year old black female's perspective. This topic is tough, especially with the uptick in deaths caused by police officers at traffic stops over the past several years. I highly recommend not attempting to push through this book and read it a few chapters per sitting to process the content. The author does a phenomenal job of truly putting you in the shoes of Starr, and experiencing such a tragic event through her eyes. It made me think about my own biases and actions on a daily basis and how I can change and make our world a more inclusive place when the news is filled with hatred and violence.
