Wow was this a good book. I’m so happy she decided to write this because maverick was probably one of if not my favorite character in the hate you give. I just really enjoyed getting his back story and to see how certain things came to be. This talks about such important topics. I really liked the characters in this especially the family. This book had me going through all the emotions. I’m so glad I finally read this one and enjoyed it. Plus the cover is gorgeous.

Amazing prequal of The Hate U Give. Het leuke aan prequals is dat jij meer weet dat de karakters in het boek, omdat jij de toekomst al weet. Wederom een heel mooi boek over wat het is om zwart en een gangbanger te zijn en te leven in the ghetto. Ook leuk dat bepaalde hoofdpersonages in The Hate U Give al heel subtiel genoemd worden in het boek. Heb niets negatiefs dus 5/5
