The Hate U Give Book Review



WARNING!!!!
  • Swearing is a lot in this book
  • Sex Scenes be mindful there is one
  • Drugs and Violence are also in this book
This not a book for children it's a YA novel, so be careful when your buying this book for younger readers.

This story talks about a sixteen year old Starr Carter who was invited to a party that she didn't feel comfortable to be there through running away after someone got shot in the Garden Heights party with her best friend Khalil Harris, she ends up in the car on her way to escape from the scene that when they both get stopped by a police officer and they persuade Khalil to get out of the car and Starr herself Khalil ends up dead in the incident. Starr ends up being his Witness to speak about what happens in Khalil death which makes her feel sick and confused and makes her friends act weird against her for behaving so funny Starr world turns into two worlds. where she's goes to a rich school called Willmanson and her friend Hailey was a tricky friendship with Starr and admits she the racist comment where she mentioned chicken nugget to her. Kenya struggles with the relationship with her parents King Lord and his wife Iesha, who don't get along with the Carter family. King tries to destroy one boy called Devante. who use to be a drug dealer and Khalil wasn't interested to sell Drugs so basically King Planned the shot against one fifteen which his name wasn't really known in the beginning Starr lives with her two brothers Half Brother Seven and a younger brother called Sekani and her parents Lisa and Maverick and Starr opens up with the relationship with her boyfriend Chris and admits she had a crush on Khalil.

 the book was really tensed to read and made me understand racism and how people used drugs and how it was difficult it is to be black and how your friends see you as one and how everyone seeks for you so badly as a Witness when your best friend dies and you won't see him again, I really loved this book I felt Angie made Starr someone so real that you could hug her and relate to the pain and angers behind her with her family and how people at school saw her and how she turned into this witness celebrity. because of her best friend death how everyone bothered her to know more when the words felt shutter for her to admit the love relationship with Chris were a bit challenging for her to admit but you could feel when Khalil died it really hit her heart. it spoke a lot about having  a voice because if you don't shout to the world the problems are not over, the book made me realise characters are people no matter what they go through. colour or disability or speech of voice especially being black we are all people and we need books like Angie's novel to teach us about the world we live in. how we treat people and how cruel we can be to someone either because of background or accent.


Thank you for reading this powerful review

Tweet Cute Book Review

This book feauture two teenage characters who two parents own the restraunt and they are called Pepper and Jack then they develop a romance through a chat App called Wazuel where all the students talk together Jack was the boy and creator of the app that his parents didn't know he was a part offf and the school didn't too this changes his world upside down until he meets Pepper a girl in his class that, they both kept talking which tranform their relationship into Twitter and the whole thing becomes a trending hastag between the two they had to solve it out before it was too late.... I didn't love this book to be honest I felt bored reading it because there wasnt anything interesting a lot apart from the whole twitter drama and I wanted it to be more punchy, I found the writing style to be quite cringe and slow reading and I didn't have any connection for anyone in the book at all maybe apart from Jack I did, I found him to be quite a dorky cutie to read about anyway I ...

The Idea Of Tommy & Daniel

Hello Everyone welcome back to another blog post! Today post is actually a special one since "The Step Love" turns one year today and I asked everyone what plans I should do and by the way I loved the answers from bookstagram but I decided maybe I talk about how Tommy and Daniel came to reality for me to talk about them all the time to you guys. I remember it was 2015 and I was sitting in my room thinking of what else to write then this boy appeared into my mind and I thought about it twice then I saw another boy came as his brother then that's where I saw a Tommy and his little brother Daniel, then I started to see a boy and a girl forming something together and that's how Sarah and Tommy came then other more people plus Harriet too and the ideas for making Tommy and Daniel are not really my strength or anything, I think God knew I was an author since I was writing The Little Bear Stories and I wrote The Last Day Of School Term in 2010 then I took a long hiatus...
