The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
5.0

This book is beautifully infuriating. We have gang violence, flagrant and systemic racism, abuses of power, just everything... This is absolutely a must read. Starr's struggle of being torn between two worlds was so relatable and her visceral grief over Khalil's murder shook me to my core. This is truly a story about a community coming together in the wake of tragedy, even when the murder trial unfortunately ends in the way you'd expect. Angie Thomas does an amazing job with her characters and their individual stories. I can't wait to read more from her.
