A review by brandypainter
On the Come Up by Angie Thomas

5.0

Angie Thomas proves in her sophomore novel, On the Come Up, that her talent is vast, and she has so much to give the world.

I'm not going to do a long, thorough review of this book because I feel like its not really my place to comment on a lot of the life experiences in the book, but I wanted to single it out. It was definitely a 5 star read for me, and I never put 5 star reads in Shorter Musings posts.

I will say this about it:
Bri is messy, talented, confused, hurting, and amazing.
Bri is REAL.
Bri's voice is perfection.
The supporting cast of characters it top-notch. Every. Single. One.
This book made me laugh.
This book made me cry.
This book made me laugh and cry on the same page.

I love it even more than The Hate U Give.
