The Hate U Give

I can't even put into words how amazing this book is.

It's real. It's timely. It's necessary.

This book is going to be the book of the year. I can feel it. You start the story off with a young girl who is more or less timid and doesn't want to speak out about what happened and then you end with a young girl who is empowered and unafraid.

Everyone has their “passion book.” My coworkers passion book is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. The Hate U Give is mine. I borrowed a copy from my work, the library, and I fully intend on buying a hardcover copy for my collection.

If you read one novel this year, read this one. It's Angie Thomas's debut and it's incredibly thought provoking.


P.s. Expect to cry. Multiple times.
