Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas
5.0

5.0 stars

What. A. Book. I haven’t felt so many emotions from a book in a while! I was amazed and brought to tears when this book spoke of fatherhood, boyhood, and living in the hood. This book was ruthless, and hurt me so much 100 pages in…

I loved the characters and what they were going though, they felt so human, and so real. Thomas has a way with words and with her characters, and her books leave me with a little more hope for humanity. I was pleasantly surprised by the way Thomas handled themes of abortion and LGBT, this book just left me floored. Read THUG then read this. They’re both so dang worth it!
