The Hate U Give Book Review

Summary

Starr is stuck between two worlds. Williamson, the high-end private school she attends, and Garden Heights, the poor neighbourhood where she lives with her family. Everything in her life is divided, from her friends to her personality. Then one night Starr’s life crumbles before her when her childhood best friend is shot by a police officer. Khalil, who was unarmed, was pulled over for seemingly no reason before being killed.

And Starr is the only witness. All this means that Starr is the only one who can bring justice for Khalil. But speaking out might just get Starr killed. Will she have the courage to speak up and let her voice be heard?

Review

The Hate U Give is a powerful and inspiring book that everyone should read. It addresses important topics like racism and police brutality, which are incredibly relevant and important to learn about. This book is also an outstanding novel, with complex, relatable characters, and a gripping plot. I would recommend this book to all teen readers, especially those who are interested in civil rights movements and activism.
