A review by bookishrealm
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
5.0
There aren't enough words that could even begin to describe what I felt after reading this book. I definitely teared up and got emotional at the end. From personal experience, it's not easy losing someone to gun violence and then it's even more difficult when there is no justice even when an innocent life has been taken. This book was pure poetry from the beginning to the end. I read a library copy and I need to go get my own so I can annotate it. Nothing I say will do this book justice. It's way too beautiful and way too important for my simple words. All I can say is that if you don't read anything this year then the one thing that you should read is this book. It's important to what's going on in our country and it's important to the future of our country. I've heard people bad mouth the #blacklivesmatter movement which has completely and totally pissed me off. Sure there have been people who have done wrong in the name of the movement but that doesn't mean that the entire movement is bad. These are people who simply want justice for the crimes that were committed against human beings. I loved this book y'all. And I'm emotional as I type this. I will be writing a full review this week. I can't wait.
