Relevant, thought provoking, and exceeded my expectations. The Hate U Give is a book I believe everyone should read and recognize to relate more to what's going on around them. It has so much diversity revolving around one event which I really enjoyed reading about. This book is inspired by the black lives matter movement and the community surrounding the events. 
 "Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right." 
 Star is leaving a party with her friend Khalil when they get pulled over. Star has been groomed her entire life how to act around cops - she soon learns that Khalil's mom never taught him though. 3 gun shots later Khalil is dead and Star is in pursuit of balancing justice. 
 "Brave doesn't mean you're not scared. It means you go on even though you're scared." 
 Everyone has a Hailey character in their life that REALLY needs to read this book. I could name a few off the top of my head right now.
