The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

One of my goals for 2019 is to read more!  I started off the year listening to the audio book, The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas.  My commute to work is about 40 minutes one way.  It dawned on me. I can experience lots of books driving to/fro the soup kitchen.

Anyway, this book is a bestseller.  One reviewer declared that it was heartbreakingly human.  I could not agree more.  It puts race issues right in your face.  It made me think beyond my comfort zone.  It made me think.  This is a book everyone should read.  It is a young adult but deals with very adult issues.

A few days ago, I realized the book is currently a movie.  I'm going to add it to our must see movie list.
