On the Come Up
by Angie Thomas
Angie Thomas has done it AGAIN. On the Come Up was everything and more. I just finished listening to it and my mind is just reeling with a dozen thoughts right now.
I loved Bre's character from the beginning. A good kid who people loved to ASSume was a rachet thug. If you're black you've been down this road. I loved Bre's brother and her mother. Oh how I loved her mother. As a child of a mother who had a drug addiction I was rooting for J throughout the whole book to not go back to her "sickness". I loved her and Bre's relationship and J seemed like such a cool mother...reminded me of mine.
I can't form any more sentences right now but please read this. I liked this more than I did The Hate U Give and I absolutely loved that. I was able to hear Angie Thomas speak a few weeks ago and got to speak to her for a brief moment and she's absolutely amazing. I need for On The Come Up to have a sequel...Angie you can't leave us hanging!!! I want to know the famous person who posted that they should do a colab with Bre. Of course it will probably be a fictional character but I couldn't help thinking about someone like Nicki Minaj or Cardi B...
Oh and I loved the grandparents and the old ladies at the church. Every character in the book I swear I know or knew at one point...oh and I love that there are gay characters and no one is really side eyeing them.
ANGIE YOU DID THIS!!! I look forward to a sequel to this and the book she talked about when she spoke that's supposed to delve more into a Tupac song. Bravo. #BlackExcellence
