I think everyone should read or listen to these books by Angie Thomas. They deal with some serious themes that everyone should know about, but they are also entertaining in places too. I loved Bri and her determination to let nothing stop her from living her dream of becoming a rapper. I also loved Bri's mum, and her determination to turn her life around for the better. I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish, and I would highly recommend it!
