On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
3.0
I liked this - definitely enjoyable. Like a 3.5.
It was hard not to compare it to THUG - and the characters/events of that book seem to be referenced throughout this one. I don't feel like Bri was as well developed as Star and this just wasn't as heavy hitting on the issues as the last one was. They were all there, sure, and a lot of really interesting dynamics were present. But overall, I just felt like I wanted a bit more.
Definitely a worthwhile read, though!
