The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

The Hate U Give is a masterpiece! It is beautifully written and evokes thought-provoking discussions involving race, police brutality, and code-switching. It centers around 16 year-old Starr Carter who tries to balance her life between two worlds- the poor neighborhood where she lives, and the privileged suburban prep school she attends. Shocking events lead her to become the only witness to her childhood friend's murder at the hands of a police officer.

This book was powerful from beginning to end and it definitely makes the reader take a step back and evaluate reality and the current issues involving injustice in our world today.
