Final Vote

Three great books - a hard choice.  

Quotes from Holding Up The Universe by Jennifer Niven

“It’s easy to give everyone what they want, what’s expected. The problem with doing this is you lose sight of where you truly being and where the fake you, the one who tries to be everything to everyone, begins.” ~ Jack on pretensions and being yourself

“But she can’t stop me from dancing. No one’s going to tell me not to dance anymore. No one should tell you what you can or can’t do either. Including you.” ~ Libby on passion

Quotes from Scythe by Neal Shusterman

“Everyone is guilty of something, and everyone still harbors a memory of childhood innocence, no matter how many layers of life wrap around it. Humanity is innocent; humanity is guilty, and both states are undeniably true.” 
― Neal Shusterman, Scythe
“My greatest wish for humanity is not for peace or comfort or joy. It is that we all still die a little inside every time we witness the death of another. For only the pain of empathy will keep us human. There’s no version of God that can help us if we ever lose that.” 
― Neal Shusterman, Scythe

Quotes from The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

“That's the problem. We let people say stuff, and they say it so much that it becomes okay to them and normal for us. What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?” 
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“I can't change where I come from or what I've been through, so why should I be ashamed of what makes me, me?” 
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

I enjoyed all three books immensely and have been recommending them to many.  My vote goes to Scythe.
