Review: The Hate U Give

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars. This was an important and timely book. I wanted to read it since it came out, but I finally got around to it. The recent events in Charlottesville and Trump's comments about them really pushed me to read it, and I'm so glad I did! I couldn't put it down. Starr's voice felt authentic and relatable. I loved her family relationships, friendships, and relationship with her boyfriend. I loved all of the Harry Potter references (of course!). I especially loved how it got me to walk a mile in someone else's shoes and think more about these important issues. I wish I could get everyone to read it!
