On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
4.0

I overall enjoyed this book and will definitely continue to read anything Angie Thomas writes. However, I think this narrative suffered a bit because the adult characters all felt a bit flat from the perspective of the teenage girl main character. The various adults are very important to the story development but I was left wondering a lot of the time what exactly was going on outside of Bri's head. Maybe that's just because I'm not a teenager anymore!
