On the Come Up

mya_L shared a tip "This book is a good choice for Black History Month! It's really good and is nice to read if you've read The Hate You Give because it is set in the same neighborhood."

jokers_wife_but_che shared a tip "This book is really inspiring and relatable for us people below the poverty line. It taught me to have faith in myself and to work with the cards I've been dealt. This taught me that even though ignorance and hate will always be there, the only person I must believe in is myself. After all, the only person who can stop you is yourself."

booksss shared a tip "Love this book, and it still takes place in Garden Heights (Like in The Hate U Give) and Khalil's murder is also mentioned, and I think it's really cool that the stories are connected!"

maliyah_hicks shared a tip "Great book, love Angie Thomas’ writing style and seeing a young black female rapper represented in literature was a great breath of fresh air. One of my favs for sure!"

phoebe_fowler shared a tip "Great book on the effect racism has on black teenagers who just have a dream. If you like The Hate You Give you are sure to like this."

liv-ing_normally shared a tip "I’ve never read anything like it before, and it a good eye opener on what it’s like to be Black. I think this is a really important book, and it needed to have been written."
