On the Come Up

So good! I love Bri's voice and I can't wait to read the next book Angie Thomas writes.

Great writing and I love how well I got to knew the characters but the main character annoyed me so much.
I can't wait to read this authors other book!

Love another nuanced trip into Garden Heights. Bri is a great character, flawed and often unlikeable in her choices, but ultimately complexly loveable and wonderful, a truly REAL teenager. The family dynamics are great, as are the very realistic friendships. Thomas does GREAT character work with Aunt Pooh. The dialogue and songs are so accurate, Thomas has very few peers in that area. There were a few plot points that felt too easy (how would Supreme be able to take a minor to meetings/performances without parental permission?!) but overall very enjoyable. As always, strongly recommend the audio by the best narrator in the game, the true GOAT, Bahni Turpin.
