Really liked this book. The story is real and also beautiful and painful. I loved the main characters and how well fleshed out they were. A great prequel to The Hate U Give!

Angie Thomas does it again! The Hate U Give was one of my absolute favorite books of 2020 and I really enjoyed learning about Maverick’s journey! Well done.

Angie Thomas NEVER disappoints! This book was so emotional and so eye opening for me. Maverick is such a complex character who has been through so much. I definitely recommend this book! Thomas is an instant buy author for me!!
4.5 stars rounded up! Angie Thomas has done it again. I love her writing so much. She really can do no wrong. This is a prequel to The Hate You Give, where we follow Maverick, Star’s dad as a teenager. I loved reading from his point of view. This was such an important read just like THUG. I need more from this Author!
A BOOK THE WORLD NEEDED BUT DIDNT DESERVE
I love you, Angie Thomas. Thank you for this gift.
I love you, Angie Thomas. Thank you for this gift.
The prequel to The Hate You Gives takes you on a Journey of Star's father, Maverick and what he went through at the age of 17. This book was able to get me out of a slight reading slump, and It was so good I was able to get through it in a matter of hours. There were laughter and tears and it was just such an emotional ride from start to finish. The book will also start some conversations. It was truly a pleasure to see Maverick and Lisa from the beginning. This was such a great book.
