I don't think words could ever do justice to how amazing and important this book is, for me and for SO many people around the world. I loved Starr, I loved her story, I felt every single emotion she experienced, I ached for Khalil, and, like Starr, I vowed to do better.
I've always been passionate about the Black Lives Matter movement, and finally reading 'The Hate U Give' cemented that belief. In today's society, we need books like Angie's. We need stories by and about Black people in order to even BEGIN to understand what they're still going through. And while, as a white female, I can't possibly ever understand, I promise I'll keep listening and I'll keep fighting with you all. Lead the way.
