On The Come Up by Angie Thomas
5.0
I don't think I could write a proper review for this book. I was a bit hesitant going in cause I literally know nothing about rap, but this book isn't just about that. There's so much more to it. It can be difficult and at times frustrating to read, but it just feels so real. I loved all the relationships, especially between Bri and Trey. Also loved seeing Bri's relationship with her mom and her best friends. Malik did annoy me a bit, but I'm glad they worked things out eventually. The end was bittersweet–we don't get a completely happy ending with everything tied up perfectly, but it felt realistic and hopeful for the future. I'm really hoping we get to see more from Angie soon! I could literally read anything she writes and I know I'll fly through it and love it!
