The Hate U Give

I have been wanting to read this book since before it was even released but despite everyone telling me to read it I kept putting it off for some reason. I wish I would have read it sooner.

This book is one that needs/should be read by everyone. While this is a fictional story it talks about something that is actually happening in todays world. Racism, police brutality, white privilege and so much more. I knew what to expect going into this but at the same time I didn't. this book was eye opening in some aspects to me. Like I know of the injustices that black people face but reading about the extent of some situations I wasn't expecting. Like I didn't realize just how bad things were I guess.

This book is very eye opening and I don't see how you can read it and not finish it learning something. If you haven't read this book yet please do so immediately. I highly recommend it.
