Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

The Hate U Give

This book is truly revolutionary! Every moment feels so real and intimate like you're you're walking through Starr's reality with her. I love the relationships and dialogue throughout the entire book. Every person is complex in their own way as reflected by how Starr sees them. It's truly amazing for that alone but add the issues of race, police brutality, and gang violence in to that and it becomes one of the best books of all time in my opinion. It's the type of book you'd finish in one day than reread because it's so addicting! People say that about books all the time I know but this book can truly change the way someone thinks and sees the world. Even if you're already 'woke' it gives you a broader look at things and really makes you think! For anyone who hasn't read it I suggest you do before the movie comes out because there is something so personal in the book that won't be easily captured in a screen adaptation.

The characters and plot were really enjoyable and the writing was so good I had trouble taking my time on it and really trying to enjoy it! It felt real and intimate to read what was going on with the characters. It was truly amazing and one of a kind!
