The hate u give: Angie Thomas - Brossura

"Angie Thomas has written a stunning, brilliant, gut-wrenching novel that will be remembered as a classic of our time." - John Green

"Though Thomas s story is heartbreakingly topical, its greatest strength is in its authentic depiction of a teenage girl, her loving family, and her attempts to reconcile what she knows to be true about their lives with the way those lives are depicted and completely undervalued by society at large." - Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

"Beautifully written in Starr s authentic first-person voice, this is a marvel of verisimilitude as it insightfully examines two worlds in collision. An inarguably important book that demands the widest possible readership." - Booklist (starred review)

"Thomas cuts to the heart of the matter for Starr and for so many like her, laying bare the systemic racism that undergirds her world, and she does so honestly and inescapably, balancing heartbreak and humor. With smooth but powerful prose delivered in Starr's natural, emphatic voice, finely nuanced characters, and intricate and realistic relationship dynamics, this novel will have readers rooting for Starr and opening their hearts to her friends and family. This story is necessary. This story is important." - Kirkus (starred review)

"The Hate U Give is tragically timely, hard-hitting, and an ultimate prayer for change. Don't look away from this searing battle for justice. Rally with Starr." - Adam Silvera, New York Times bestselling author of More Happy Than Not

"The Hate U Give is astoundingly good. It s heartbreaking, enraging, surprisingly tender, and unexpectedly hilarious. Starr is one of the best main characters I ve ever read. She s funny, smart, loyal, flawed, and brave. THUG is an honest, authentic, searing depiction of what life can be like for black teens in America. This book is incredibly important and timely but that isn t what makes it so special. It s Starr s voice, the wonderful cast of characters, and Angie s brilliant writing. A phenomenal debut that everyone should read." - Katherine Webber, author of Wing Jones
