On the Come Up
by Angie Thomas
This book was fire. This book brings back memories of when I wanted to be a famous singer/rapper. Now mind you I can not rap to save my life, but I think I can sing my butt off. But anyway I would listen to Alicia Keys, Anita Baker, Destiny's Child, Shanice, and so much more. And so with Bri as the main character in this book she did not only realize her worth, but she also realized the power of words and the strength that it holds. This book was a heart-felt story of finding yourself and staying true to who you are and not letting anyone take advantage of you. This book has some similarities to the THUG, but this book is definitely different as well. The themes in this book is: loss, confusion, hurt, drugs, violence, brutality, find ones self, understanding the value of life, power of words, and so much more. Now if this becomes a movie I definitely will have to watch it. This book is also diverse in many ways and giving some love to the LGBTQ community. I would definitely recommend this book because it also displays that anything is possible but in order to reach and achieve your goals and dreams you must love yourself and love who you are as a person.
