On the Come Up

5.0/5.0

I made a mental note to check out this book after I read “The Hate U Give” and I totally wasn't disappointed! This book made me think a lot, not just about the main character Bri's life, but about mine too. I can't wait for the movie adaption of this! The minute the raps get recorded I'm going to add them to my playlist. They were all very clever! The lines below are my favorite!

“You see they figure I'm a n** that's gon' rap ‘bout pulling triggers, Just to make their pockets bigger while the world yells I'm a sinner”

The entire thing was very well written and once I started reading it, it was hard for me to put down. Each of Bri's raps was thought out very well and it's obvious when you read them. Each one has a deeper meaning that is impossible to not appreciate.
