On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
5.0

I would absolutely recommend the audiobook. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed this nearly as much without listening. A lot of her home life feelings and happenings were hard to listen to because I've gone through that and I know that pit in your stomach feeling. I loved her family and everyone's connections to each other were strong. The struggle between right and wrong, and being a kid where the world doesn't give you an option to just be a kid, and drugs in the community, and some much more than meets the eye themes were executed so well. There is not anything I would change to improve the narrative.
