The Hate U Give

Where to even begin with this amazing book...

I'll make this a short and to the point review, because there are already so many great reviews out there for this book.

This is an extremely powerful book, one I have already recommended to other people. The writing is phenomenal – it sounds so, so realistic and the dialogue suited the ages represented! The music brought up is mostly old school, but considering which music is really talked about, I can't fault it.
I was gripped from the first page and it was honestly hard putting this book down. When I did, I was always a little scared to pick it up, because I didn't want anything bad to happen to the characters. I became so invested.

This book is timely and I think talks about everything respectfully – bringing up the oppressed voices without insulting other people.

I believe every library should have a copy of this book and it could even become required reading in schools. Amazing book.
