A review by tabatha_shipley
On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
3.0
What I Did Like:
-The representation is great. The neighborhood and hip-hop were both well represented.
-The lyrics. We meet Bri because she wants a future in rap so I was pleased when her lyrics were well written. They make sense, they flow nicely, and they work.
-The big lessons. Staying true to yourself, speaking your voice, and finding yourself were all well represented here. These are great lessons for teens to learn!
Who Should Read This One:
-If you’re a big hip-hop or rap fan, the lyrics in this one will interest you for sure.
-If you like contemporary stories, give this one a try.
My Rating: 3 Stars. The story is good and the lyrics are great, but I didn’t connect with Bri like I wanted to and that affects my rating. If you’re here for the lyrics, you’ll love it.
