I went into this knowing it was not gonna be The Hate U Give and that was such an incredible book but this is it's own story and Bri is her own character so there should not be a comparison between the two. This one took me a little while to get into which is why I docked its star but the message and the characters are so well done. Angie Thomas does a good job at talking about real social issues and really making you feel angry about all the injustices in the world. This book really said, "hey? This stuff is wrong and you need to know that," and I really enjoyed it.
