The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
4.0
holy fuck!! this is such an important book to read! it gave me goosebumps several times and it portrays the struggle of people of color so well. only thing is i got bored and exhausted of reading it a lot too bc it was so dialogue heavy among other things.

“Like I said, nobody likes selling drugs,” he says. “I hated that shit. For real. But I hated seeing my momma and my sisters go hungry, you know?”

The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody.

“Uh, baby,” says Daddy, “I was finishing up.”
“I have something to add. Lord, bless my mom, and thank you that she went into her retirement fund and gave us the money for the down payment. Help us turn the basement into a suite so she can stay here sometimes.”
“No, Lord,” Daddy says.
“Yes, Lord,” says Momma.
“No, Lord.”
“Yes.”
“No, amen!”

People are realizing and shouting and marching and demanding. They’re not forgetting. I think that’s the most important part.
Khalil, I’ll never forget.
I’ll never give up.
I’ll never be quiet.
I promise.
