The Hate U Give is a 2017 young adult novel by Angie Thomas.Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter lives in two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is broken when Starr is the only  witness to the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. This book goes through the aftermath of realizing and processing what to do next and how she speaks up. It also has many side stories about her two lives, family, friends and gangs in her neighborhood. This book is a good insight into 

The Hate U Give leaves me dumbstruck. The description the book makes you feel as if your there and makes you want to keep reading to find out more.

I would give this book a 4.5/5 just because there is a lot of swearing and cuss words otherwise now one of my favorite books.
