Very well written, great story, great character, great lessons!!!
I didn’t want this book to end! Now I want to read The Hate U Give again. I LOVED Maverick’s story; even though I know how things turn out, I just truly enjoyed this so much.
SPOILER ALERT: Did anyone else catch that the woman who gave Lisa the private college tour at Markham was Justyce McAllister’s mom from “Dear Martin?” Ahhhhh! Loved that!!!!
More spoilers:
Freaking Iesha. She is such a mess. I struggle to have empathy for her.
King just SUCKS.
I seriously just wanted more! ❤️

This book is about Maverick who is a son of a former gangmember, who is now in jail.
And then Maverick founds out he is becoming a father. He wants to change his life around, but he doesn't know how. With some advice from people around him, he starts getting more mature. He now does what it takes to be a father.
I read this book fast. It was gripping. Sometimes I was a bit on edge, wondering what was going to happen next. He dealt with a lot of shit, but he handled it.
Definitely reading more books from Angie Thomas.

This was such a touching book. I definitely cried while I read it, and it was probably the little moments of grief that got me the most. The author is so amazing at putting subtleties of grief into the story, and it’s those small things that got me. I cared so much for Mav, even if he did kind of irritate me at times. Sometimes, when it came to him, it was a lot of “I don’t want to sell drugs anymore” and then “I need the money” over and over again and it was a tad repetitive, but it didn’t ruin my enjoyment of the book. Honestly, my favorite part of the book was how real it was. It’s a 17 year old kid with a kid who just wants to be a kid while I also dealing with the loss of his brother and school and everything else. That’s a very real situation in so many lives, and it just touched my heart. The character development was beautiful with all the characters and I genuinely loved them all. The drama was also on fire. Each chapter ended in a way that made me want to keep reading and I definitely got through the book so quickly because of that. Such a quick, real read. Love this book!

What can I say? Angie has done it again. I devoured this book from cover to cover. I enjoyed reading Maverick’s story. I might re-read The Hate U Give.
