A review by ksiegner
On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
5.0
Bri is a teenage girl with the hopes to make it big with a rap career. You follow the story of her come up with her first song that may not have portrayed her in the best light despite that not being the meaning of her song.
Going through family, friendship, and school drama, not knowing if the electricity or heat would be on, or if there was going to be enough food on the table, Bri thinks that making it big is going to be the only way to help out at home. While doing this, she starts to lose herself by getting too wrapped up in playing an image for her new manager Supreme.
In the end, she finds herself again.
Overall, I think this was an amazing book and I do hope that it is made into a movie. It would be an eye opener for many people and I hope that it would create a conversation about what is happening to our youth.
