44 - The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Manage episode 310675763 series 3068029
We are here for racial justice and loved reading about Starr as she decides to fight the injustice in her life. There are some very significant differences between the book and movie that change whole the meaning of T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. as it affects the Carter family. We missed the references to Fresh Prince that were constant in the book and think that Chris got the “girlfriend treatment.”
Episode Drink: Milk
