The Hate U Give
Starr Carter er en 16-årig sort pige, der bor i det fiktive, overvejende fattige sorte kvarter Garden Heights, men som går på en velhavende, overvejende hvid privatskole, Williamson Prep. Da politiet en weekend afbryder en fest, som Starr deltager i, bliver Starr kørt hjem af sin bedste ven fra barndommen, Khalil. På vejen hjem bliver de stoppet af en hvid politibetjent. Betjenten får Khalil, som er sort, til at stige ud af bilen. Mens Khalil står uden for bilen og taler med Starr, rækker Khalil tilbage i bilen efter en hårbørste, som betjenten forveksler med en pistol. Betjenten skyder og dræber Khalil.

The Hate U Give
Starr Carter is a 16-year-old black girl who lives in the fictional, mostly poor black neighborhood of Garden Heights, but attends an affluent, predominantly white private school, Williamson Prep. After the police break up a party Starr is attending one weekend, Starr is driven home by her childhood best friend, Khalil. On the way home, they are stopped by a white police officer. The officer has Khalil, who is black, exit the car; while outside the car and talking with Starr, Khalil reaches back into the car for a hairbrush, which the officer mistakes for a gun. The officer shoots and kills Khalil.
