The Hate U Give

The Young-Adult novel for the Black Lives Matter movement, which has gotten a lot of hype. YA isn't usually my thing, but I was curious, and this did not disappoint. Engaging and perfect as audiobook, because you're in the head of a 16 year old girl, that witnesses the police shooting of one of her best childhood friends. White cop, black kid. Grief and sadness, anger and rage, gangs and drugs, stereotyping and prejudices, black neighbourhoods and race riots.
