i havent yet read THUG, but my daughter was reading this for school so i wanted to read it with her. i found Maverick to be an interesting and complicated young guy, he had a lot of things to deal with and he didn't always do the right thing but he found his way. it felt a little unreal, but i did really feel he was genuine so i think that balanced it out. the book was mostly about hardship but there were a few moments of lightness, perhaps it feels close to what it feels like for some kids in low-income neighborhoods. i am interested to read THUG now and continue following the characters.

If only it was longer and more depth! Just a bit too light.

Angie Thomas has yet to disappoint me. I wouldn't mind if this book is 800 pages.

Honestly one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I listened to the audio version and the narrator just brought the story alive. I highly, highly recommend.
