Concrete Rose
by Angie Thomas
Fave Line: “Son, one of the biggest lies ever told is that black men don’t feel emotions. Guess it’s easier not to see us as human when you think we are heartless.”
Genre: YA Realistic Fiction
Synopsis:
Maverick is trying to navigate his way through not only life but also high school while having many odds stacked against him. A dad in prison, a mom who works nonstop to try and make ends meet, The neighborhood gang that but he belongs to, unexpected deaths, and new additions to the family.
Will he be able to stay true to himself or will he fall into the cycle that many teens him his neighborhood do?
Rating:
5/5 ⭐️s
I am often very cautious when reading a prequel to a book. Once again Angie Thomas hit this out of the park. After reading Concrete Rose and knowing Maverick’s story it brings a whole new perspective to him in The Hate U Give. Now I need to re-read the first book…
