By: Yunia Damayantii
So, The Hate U Give is about six-year-old [black] girl named Starr Carter who fight to find justice for her friend, Khalil Harris who was killed by a [white] cop. This book is basically from social media's movements #BlackLivesMatter that happened last... See More year, if I'm not mistaken. And the story continues about Starr's life on her neighborhood that surrounded by gangbangers, drug dealers and stuffs. Starr also has to choose between become Williamson-Starr or Garden Heights-Starr. Will she find a justice for Khalil and the rest of black people's live? You need to find out, ASAP!
My thoughts about this book is beyond words, I got this book in hardback and the shape is wonderful. *eyegasm* It's my best of 2017 for sure. The story that Angie Thomas has brought is truthfully hurt and it happens in the real world. NO JOKING! Racism and violent against minorities are the biggest problem this time and we have to stand against it. And this book....this book teaches you to be open-minded person and makes you care about what happen around you.Also, I love Starr's family. Daddy, Momma, Seven and Sekani. What a family! Eventhough they're living in thug neighborhood, it doesn't make them thug family :") and Starr's boyfriend, Chris (who ridiculously "white" person) he is so adorable and very gentle toward Starr. And last, this book is so damn amazing. Y'all MUST READ this. *dab*
