• What did I think of this book?
When you're reading books like The Hate U Give, you're reading someone's decision against silence.
This was such a heartbreakingly honest account of what is happening in America. As a white reader, the experience this story affords its readers cannot be taken for granted. Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, this book takes you into the heart of Garden Heights after the main character has witnessed the wrongful murder of her best friend Khalil by a police officer. I wish everyone to read this book because it shines a light on a broken system.Â
