THE HATE U GIVE deserves every single amount of praise it’s been given. It’s a story dripping with truth, and one I firmly believe everyone should read. Hate is driven by fear, and fear stems from the unknown. This book breaks the barrier we’ve placed amongst ourselves as a society. As a white reader, my eyes have been opened. 

I immediately fell in love with the voice of this novel. THE HATE U GIVE is written in the first person present tense following Starr’s perspective. Because of this narration, readers get an inside view of Starr’s character arc as she combats internalized biases and finds her voice.

I know it's been banned in some places, but I'd put it in high school English classes. We need to see life from the viewpoint of people who aren't just like us. How can we understand each other if we can't see what someone else deals with. The author does an excellent job of expressing the lives and frustrations of people who are marginalized because of the color of their skin. I had a friend who was downright petrified one afternoon when he saw his tail light had gone out, and he had to drive that evening. His life is different than mine. I've had friends who had to give The Talk to their kids, and who wrestled with the Harvard vs. Howard question. Besides being on an important topic, the book is also written so well it should be a classic regardless of the societal importance.

This book is good. I think it is a great story that was turned into a horrible film.
