karenelyse2 's review for:
On the Come Up
by Angie Thomas
Just as amazing as the first book!
I think all teenagers can relate to Bri and her struggles with friendship, boyfriends, and school. For teens of color it is even more relatable as Bri (and others) struggle to identify themselves outside of how police, non-POC, and even some in "the hood" view them.
For me, both of her books made a reality of what I thought I already understood about the struggles blacks are going through.
I highly recommend this book be read by everyone, but especially our future - teenagers.
