A review by kimbongiorno
Love, Hate & Other Filters by Samira Ahmed
5.0
A must-read.
Ahmed skillfully weaves the high school senior emotional experience--the family drama, the classmate drama, the big stuff, the little stuff, the romance, the friendships, the whole new future just a breath away--with the serious business of how a hate crime can ripple through lives, over and over again.
I swooned, laughed, related, cried, hoped. She brought out the layers we are made of from the parts that influence our decisions to those we try to ignore. The shoulds vs the wants. The sacrifices we weigh, accept, regret. So much is captured in this beauty of a novel that I will recommend it to anyone who will listen.
Did you already read THE HATE U GIVE and DEAR MARTIN? This should be your next pick.
