I related to Starr on so many levels that it was almost like it was my own story put on paper. Thank you Angie Thomas for this well written, stunning, fabulous, and inspiring book. I cried. I laughed. I felt hopeless and upset but I know that by the end, I was be changed for the better. The perspective Angie offers to people who don't understand these situations and these times is perfectly written. I recommend everyone read this book because you will be blown away by its powerful message. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm five years late to the party, but this book is truly deserving of all of its accolades and more. While it's painful to read, it's incredibly important, relevant, and powerful. Starr saw her best friend killed accidently in a drive-by shooting at the age of 10. Now 16 she knows how to respond when stopped by the police but that doesn't stop her friend Khalil being gunned down in front of her. Now Starr is in a fix, she is the only witness and should give evidence against against the police officer, her family just want to protect her, the community wants justice. However Starr also has another life at her private school with her wealthy (white) friends, they don't know she is the witness and they have their own preconceptions about people from the 'Hood. This is a brilliant book which gives a far more balanced perspective to the scenario than might be expected. It is quite balanced, pitting the prejudice of Starr's family to her boyfriend alongside the casual racism of one student who Starr felt was her friend. Then there's the bigger picture! This edition includes a letter from the author.
Shot and killed right from the start really was an attention grabber in this book. Angie Thomas wrote a relatable book, especially for this time in our world involving Black Lives Matter, police brutality, implicit bias, and white privilege. I loved how this topic was touched upon because, for some, these matters need to be acknowledged more in this world in order for change. This book took place in the hood and expressed the difference between the black and white communities. The main character Starr Carter lived two lives; there was one life in the neighborhood of garden heights and then the Starr who attends a prestigious, private white prep school across town. I fell in love with this book and felt excitement every time I picked it up, which says a lot because reading has not always been my favorite thing. I felt like I knew this family and everything they were feeling because the details describing everything were so strong. I watched the main character, Starr, break down just about every moment, I felt like I knew each and everything she was feeling. I also really enjoyed the characters in this story because it was very clear they were all very connected and were there for each other. The relationship between the kids and Starrs parents was unreal, and I treasured how supportive and caring they were. This book definitely was a little intense with some of the events that occurred, but I do believe it was important because it was necessary for the story line and the problems they faced. Although I really did enjoy this book, I felt that the storyline was the same, meaning similar things continuously happened and events were almost predictable. I would recommend this book 1000% for anyone over the age of 13 because it can get a little intense with the words chose for some scenes. Lastly, I would definitely recommend this to someone who has a lot of interest in these problems going on around the world or enjoys reading about how people persevere through problems. The first-person narrative is simply beautiful to read, and I felt I was observing the story unfold in 3D as the characters grew flesh and bones inside my mind. The Hate U Give is an outstanding debut novel and says more about the contemporary black experience in America than any book I have read for years, whether fiction or non-fiction. It's a stark reminder that, instead of seeking enemies at its international airports, America should open its eyes and look within if it's really serious about keeping all its citizens safe. Thomas’s debut novel offers an incisive and engrossing perspective of the life of a black teenage girl as Starr’s two worlds converge over questions of police brutality, justice, and activism. The story, with so many issues addressed, can feel overwhelming at times, but then again, so can the life of an African American teen. Debut author Thomas is adept at capturing the voices of multiple characters, and she ultimately succeeds in restoring Starr’s true voice. That hope seems slim indeed these days, but ultimately the book emphasizes the need to speak up about injustice, to have injustice be known even if not punished. That’s a message that will resonate with all young people concerned with fairness, and Starr’s experience will speak to readers who know Starr’s life like their own and provide perspective for others.

Also, anyone that's not firmly "Black Lives Matter" needs to read this fucking book and know there is no other option. Pigs have long since been trampling all over POC in this country, and it needs to stop. Very well written.
