Book Review #54: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Hey Guys x It's been just under a month since my last book review (probably longer by the time I finally upload this!), and in that time I've fallen in love with reading over and over and over again, and this book has certainly helped with that. It's about a girl called Starr Carter. Starr lives in two worlds, the 'ghetto' where she lives and has been brought up, and the 'white' area where she goes to school, and where all her friends, and her boyfriend, are. Her life's work is making sure that there two areas never collide. However, one night Starr witnesses the murder of her unarmed best friend by a police officer. And suddenly Starr is thrust into a world of riots and activism. But when her worlds collide, and it's time to speak out, will Starr be able to find her voice? I thought this book was incredible. There's a lot of hype surrounding it and it certainly deserves every bit of hype that it's getting because it's worth it. ...
