The Hate You Give- Raw, Real, and Relevant.
The best thing about this book is that the characters are not perfect by any means and most realize their mistakes.
The book does have minor flaws pertaining to certain character conversations that I felt could have been explained a bit better.
However, this book still deserves between 4.5-5 stars as it is a story that not only needs to be told, but also needs to be understood.

On The Come Up-Emotional, intense, and spectacular in every way imaginable. ( )
