On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
4.0
Refreshing take on th YA genre
I am not a big fan of YA Novels but I do remember enjoying The Hate U Give , Angie Thomas' debut novel so I figured I would enjoy her sophomore novel On The Come Up. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed being in the world that Thomas created, it was utterly captivating and endearing. Thomas is able to write in such a way that you are entertained and engaged the entire time.
The story follows "sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time." We are thrust into her world as she tries to navigate her friendships, her future and her family life. This are falling apart around Bri and you cannot help but want to protect her. The characters are fully developed and will pull you in from the jump. A great read all around.
