Concrete Rose
by Angie Thomas
ANGIE THOMAS HAS DONE IT AGAIN! Just finished listening to Concrete Rose on audiobook and shout out to Dion Graham for his narration. He was incredible.
I have never wanted to whoop a teenager so badly before. Maverick's pull out game is WEAK. TWO babies before you're 18? I mean this wasn't a surprise but still I wanted to cut a switch. Thank God for his mother who was a saint. Her being bi was a surprise...I must have missed that in THUG unless it wasn't mentioned. Mav was lucky to have so many amazing adults around him supporting him. I was mad at Ayesha, like girl that's not postpartum you just want to dip and do it with King and have his baby. I really wanted to fight her. Lisa's brother knocking Mav tf out wasn't a surprise. I feel like in THUG the brother and Mav still didn't get a long. Lisa's bougie butt got on my nerves at time but she was a good kid and her and Mav just meshed so well together.
I hated that his cousin was killed. I was waiting for the trauma cause one thing Angie Thomas is gonna give us is trauma. Thankful Mav turned his life around because it definitely could have went the same way Dre's life did or his dads. Miss Angie I'm gonna need you to write a book about Mav's parents as teenagers because they were both really interesting. I'd enjoy seeing how Mav's mom had to hide her love for another girl growing up and how her and Mav's dad got together. Angie captured that part in a Black boys life where they are teetering on adulthood so good. Mav was still a child trying to be grown.
I'm rambling like most of my "reviews" do but this was so good. OH! And the granny getting on Mav during Thanksgiving was HILARIOUS. "He getting out the way for the new baby" and "Whew you shole is fertile!" SENT ME! I need more of the Granny in a book. Just give us a new book in the THUG universe every month chile.
