This book is amazing, the film is good but this is so much better. I loved reading it, itâs emotional and brilliantly written. It gives you a real perspective on real things that happen, itâs things that some people will only ever hear about and never actually experience so reading things like this and getting even a small sense of how other people live and what they go through - is really important!
THE HATE U GIVE deserves every single amount of praise itâs been given. Itâs 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 weâve placed amongst ourselves as a society. As a white reader, my eyes have been opened.Â
I immediately fell in love with the voice of this novel. THE HATE U GIVE is written in the first person present tense following Starrâs perspective. Because of this narration, readers get an inside view of Starrâs character arc as she combats internalized biases and finds her voice.

Incredible combination of extremely well written, extremely readable, extremely topical and extremely effective.

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.
