Title: Hate U Give Collector's Edition, Author: Angie Thomas, Publication Year: 2018-09-04, Publisher: HARPERCOLLINS, Language: eng

Den længe ventede 2?er fra Angie Thomas, hvis stærke debut The Hate U Give blev en international bestseller, som også er blevet filmatiseret. 16-årige Bri er fast besluttet på at blive en af tidens ­allerstørste rappere. Eller i det mindste vinde sit første rap­-battle. Som datter af en legendarisk undergrundsrapper, der døde lige før sit store gennembrud, har hun et par store sko at fylde ud. Men det er svært at ­komme fri af ghettoen og opnå respekt og succes, når man ­samtidig skal kæmpe mod folks fordomme. Og det gør det ikke nemmere, at køleskabet derhjemme er tomt, fordi ens mor er blevet arbejdsløs. Så Bris første sang bliver fuld af vrede og frustration, og sangen går viralt - men af helt forkerte grunde ? En fortælling om at kæmpe for sine drømme - imod alle odds. Og om at være tro mod sig selv og ikke give efter for hverken fordomme eller forventninger.
