The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
5.0

read for Popsugar 2017 challenge: a book with a red spine

Brilliant. Angie Thomas handled a very difficult topic incredibly well. Starr had such a wonderful, clear voice, and the side characters were so well fleshed out. The writing was excellent; I teared up frequently, but I also burst out laughing (especially regarding the white people at school as that was 100% like the school I went to).

I'm really looking forward to what Angie Thomas writes next.
