On the Come Up – Angie Thomas
Read March 20 - Library
Another story of politics and the
power of one person’s voice from Angie Thomas. I loved the varied cast of
characters. Bri was awesome and Sonny was adorable. I liked the dynamic between
Bri and Malik and the way things grew with Curtis. It was more of a personal
story than ‘The Hate U Give’, focused on Bri’s dream of becoming a rapper like
her late dad. It was an interesting look and how fame can change you and how
easily your own words can be twisted against you. Stay true to yourself was a
key theme. I did feel like the ending was a little rushed and a little
incomplete though.
4/5 stars
