I just finished reading The Hate U Give and it was phenomenal.
This book has definitely become one of favourite books of 2017. There aren't many YA books that include African - American street communities, but this one captured it perfectly.
I won't elaborate too much in the story because its sort of a whole journey with surprises that will be ruined if I tell you too much. It is quite a slow paced book but it somehow manages to always keep the suspense at its highest. This book was impossible to put down!
The story includes a lot of controversial on police brutality, racism and shows us how not everyone who ends up in prison is a bad person. I has given me a whole different perspective on that matter. It was beautifully written. Despite, the author didn't seem make a big deal out of empathizing the secondary characters throughout the storyline, we really get to witness their unique personalities.
Although it is categorized as a YA book, I think it is meant for everyone to read and understand.
The Author has a new book coming out in May 2018 called: "On the come up", and I absolutely can't wait to read it.
