The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas, is a must read.



Starr Carter lives in two worlds: in her rich prep school and in her run-down neighborhood. The

carefully maintained gap between these worlds is destroyed when Starr witnesses her unarmed

childhood friend, Khalil, shot and killed by police. After Khalil's death becomes public news,

strangers start calling him a thug, a drug dealer, and even a hitman. Starr is the only person who

knows exactly what happened the night Khalil was killed, and what she knows could upend her

entire life.



The Hate U Give is inspired by the Black Lives matter movement and is an influential and riveting

story about one girl's fight to achieve justice. The book is emotive and revealing. It demonstrates the

struggle that marginalized people face and the discrimination that they put up with. This book will

resonate with several people and will promote the education of those who do not have to put up

with discrimination. I appreciate how raw this book is and how it does not gloss over aspects that

may be difficult for people to read. It is honest and I recommend that all people read this book at

one point in their lives.
