The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

This powerful book is great for both young adults and adults. I found the characters were convincing and it was impossible not to feel for them. The book deals with the difficult story of a young black woman's life in the aftermath of witnessing her friend being shot dead by a police officer. The story is current and relevant and punches it's weight on huge political issues while also being personal and moving on an individual level. The book made our summer reads reading list as a must-read for young adults and older readers.
