I was really excited to read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Most people have probably already read this selection (or seen the new movie), but I am a little behind (and was taking a break from YA). So, even though it was YA (which I don’t really enjoy), I did like this one. Starr lives in a poor neighborhood but attends a fancy prep school. When she is part of the shooting of a friend and is thrown into the national spotlight, her worlds collide and threaten to destroy her community. You can predict many of the issues which this books delves into as well as some of the plotline. It’s still a good read.
