It was great revisiting this book after having read it in high school over two decades ago. The layers of social commentary are even more apparent and poignant today than they were then.

Sometimes you get lucky and come across a book that is as good as the hype, and The Hate U Give is definitely one of them (even better than the movie). I recommend this book to any-and-everyone. It’s a powerful, enlightening, and engaging emotional roller-coaster.
