I loved *The Hate U Give*, and I liked this book, but I hated the immature things this main character did.
I don't understand why his friend let him sleep with some girl and get her pregnant after he (Maverick) broke up with Lisa for TWO weeks.😠😠 Not only that, but after they got back together, Maverick confessed what he did (not right after), they broke up again, then got back together and slept with each other, then Lisa got pregnant. 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 Not only that, but he got Lisa kicked out of her house, and now he got not one, but two girls pregnant. 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 I feel bad that Maverick lost his cousin, but even so, I am still mad at him.
Therefore, The only characters that have my respect are Carlos and Mrs. Carter as they are the best characters in this book and they are the only reasons why I didn't give this a low rating.
