A review by fellengmreads
Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas
5.0
Set years before The Hate U Give, Angie Thomas takes us through the journey of a 17 year old Maverick Carter who seems to be facing challenges that requires him to make decisions that will not only change his life but also pave a way for the son he just found out that he has.
He has to decide whether he wants to continue slinging the drugs or lead a clean life by working at the store after school.
Being a parent proves to be challenging for him, especially with all the things happening in his life, that just drags him back to a life he is trying to leave behind.
I reccomend for anyone who has read and loved THUG. This is a story of being young and making mistakes and also owning up to those mistakes.
It deals with issues that have been a part of our daily lives then, and still are even today. Might not exactly be the same but they are relevant.
I also just love Angie's writing style. Her ability to put the reader through each emotion the chatacter goes through, on every turn of the page, I must commend. All the joys, the pains, the laughter. It was like watching a movie...except this movie was in words
