Aunt Pooh said I only get one chance to let everybody and their momma know who I am. So I take it. How do you follow a book like The Hate U Give? Reading THUG, I got the impression that I was experiencing something momentous. It was breathtaking. Important. I was witnessing a person using their art to say loud and clear “ENOUGH.” On the Come Up looks at some of the same things, but it is a different kind of book. I think, however, it is a book which shows that Thomas is a great writer, not ju
"You'll never silence me and you'll never kill my dream,Just recognize when you say brilliant that you're also saying Bri."First of all, HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY and second of all THIS BOOK IS GONNA BE A FILM YOU GUYS. What a birthday present, am I right?Spoiler free!This is the 2019 release I was most scared to read. THUG was such a major, ground-breaking, and emotional book for me that the stakes for Angie’s second books were mile-high. Now I can assure you that there is no need to worry. Angie wil...
Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestSo apparently giving supporting details about your arguments = spoilers. I thought I was pretty vague, apart from mentioning a few potentially triggering situations, but just in case: I talk about the book in this review of the book(!), please consider yourself warned. I've been looking forward to ON THE COME UP ever since I heard that Angie Thomas was writing a new book. THE HATE U GIVE was one of those life-changing books for me, in th
Well damn. Angie Thomas did that.
[4.5🌟]This book was pretty fuckin phenomenal. I wasn't sure how THUG could be topped, but Angie Thomas did that!I fell in love with this story, with Brianna, her friends and family and her love for music. All those aspects were pretty much nailed and I couldn't get enough once I started reading. I'm really liking how Angie Thomas incorporates themes regarding social justice in her stories in order for us to get to know how some black communities are living and opening our eyes to it all. It's ra...
...I've just realized...I don't really have anything to say about this book. I did enjoy the representation. I find Angie Thomas's writing style very readable. I flew through this pretty quick considering how long it is.But the characters, the story, the topic, the romance (oh god, the unnecessary, accursed, inexplicably love triangle-y romance)...they have all flown from me. Gone from my brain, presumably never to return.I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.Bottom line: Not bad but oh no...
Angie Thomas has such a way of incorporating social justice (and injustice) into her stories that is both moving and eye opening. This book focused on so many things - racism, drugs, poverty, family issues, being true to yourself and more & it dealt with each one undeniably well. I was worried going into this book that it wouldn't live up to The Hate You Give for me. While THUG is still my favorite, Bri and her family and friends definitely captured me. I was fully invested in the characters and...
“You’ll never silence me and you’ll never kill my dream. Just recognize when you say brilliant that you’re also saying Bri.” OH, this was absolutely 100% amazing and Angie Talent is WAY too talented for me to handle. Obviously, I literally adored “There's only so much you can take being described as somebody you're not.” Easily my favourite part of this book was Bri's character. Bri is the kind of character I've been wanting and needing in YA for so long. She feels so genuinely teen and s
〘 find other reviews on my blog 〙It’s Angie Thomas’ world and she’s just allowing us to live in it.You know when you finish reading a book and there's a moment that feels so remarkable it carves out a space in time and whirls there while the world rushes on around it? In that gap where your real storyline seems very abstract and you're left with such a warm and happy feeling that you're glowing just by being around the book's energy?That was me upon finishing this book. I'm still overwhelmed...
ANGIE THOMAS!!!I am so in love with your words.This story follows, Bri Jackson, who, like Starr from The Hate U Give, lives in the neighborhood of Garden Heights. That is pretty much where the similarities between them end.Bri lives with her mother and her older brother. Her father, a once successful rapper, was gunned down in the streets, a victim of gang violence. Bri's mother, a recovering addict, with over 5-years sobriety, is doing her best to provide for her children alone, but it's tough....
Going to keep this review short because everyone and their rap-loving aunt is going to read and review this book. And, cutting right to the chase, because everyone wants to know how On the Come Up measures up to The Hate U Give, so let me be straight: They're different books. THUG is about a girl, a victim, being shuffled along by something much bigger than her - a socio-political movement hundreds of years in the making. Starr Carter is a quiet girl, a good girl, who tries to keep to herself an...
i love how goodreads seems to lose my reviews. wonderful, just wonderful.
🖤 Yes, injustices will no longer prevail 🤘God, this book is so damn good! Young adult done right! Live your dreams like LIVE YOUR DAMN AMAZING DREAMS! I love the characters so much! The side characters. The family vibes. The friendship. The relationships. And, wow, I didn't expect the serious issues of racism and discrimination, police brutality, addiction and recovering, poverty and hunger, social media and news hype, LGBTQIAP and coming out could be handled so well! Damn right. This book needs...
