The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Overall Rating: 6/10

"Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed."

This was a very uncomfortable novel to read, one that made me examine my own thoughts and beliefs. This book made me re-examine my "white privilege" and made me both angry and disgusted with how to main character was treated.
