    Angie Thomas proves she is here to stay and has a lot to say
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2022*

On the Come Up is Angie Thomas's second novel, a sort of sequel to The Hate U Give. I say sort of sequel because it is works as a standalone. The characters do not know each other. But Bri lives in the same neighborhood as Starr and does refer to the incidents of that story.Bri wants to be a rapper. Her father was a locally famous rapper and she seems to have inherited his talent. But she also wants to forge her own path and not only be known as "L'il Law." She does battle and shows she can hold her own. But it's a racist profiling and takedown at her school that thrusts her into the limelight, especially when she uses it to her advantage.Bri is part of a group of kids who are bused in to one of the nicer districts. It's a great program. I live in the area that was first in the country to do this urban-suburban type program and have former students who went through it. Bri's struggles, and those of her friends who also get bussed in, are rewal. It may not always show up as strongly as in this book, but the profiling and microaggressions do. I hope people realize this more and can work toward better solutions.This is also a story about the rapping world. I fully admit that the bulk of my knowledge of battles come from watching Eminem in 8 Mile. As her career advances and people start to shower praise and expectations on her, it also becomes a story of finding yourself and staying true to yourself as you share your message. And that's another good theme for people to ponder.The sophomore novel is always the most difficult one to write. But this story is strong and shows that Angie Thomas is here to stay, even beyond THUG. I know there is one more book in this world and I look forward to reading it.

    Spectacular, Powerful Story.

Another inspiring, magnificent story.I fell in love with ANGIE THOMAS’S Writing when I picked her debut novel, THE HATE U GIVE which I read last year, twice. I been excited about ON THE COME UP from the moment that she announced it on twitter. How could I not? Considering how much her debut novel affected me. When I started reading ON THE COME UP I was instantly hooked, to both the story and the characters. I had feeling that it would be a story that I would fall in love with. I did. I even recommended to a few of my friends as well. ON THE COME UP was different on THE HATE U GIVE and in the good way. I loved how Bri kept on fighting, despite what others said about her, to her. Not once did she give up on her dreams, and to me that’s dedication, courage. You cannot help but love Bri, and I know that she is type of person that I would love to be friends with. I don’t rap and only listen to rap music sometimes, and I thought that Bri’s rap that she came up with was catchy, and I actually found myself singing along with it few times, while I was reading the book. I hated how others started treating her afterwards, I understand that they thought the message that she was sending to others, but that gives them no right to assume what that song was about. I don’t know how she did it, how she handled it for as long as she did. If it was me in that situation, I wouldn’t be able to. That was one of the things that I loved about Bri, and how she kept going after her dream, no matter what was said about her song.What I loved the most about this book was how realistic it was. Poverty. Addiction. Gang is something that actually happens, and I am sure that it is what a lot of people can relate to. Bri, she dealt with so much in this book. Besides Bri, her mother was my second favorite character in ON THE COME UP but then how could she not be? She’s recovering addict and just by reading this story, I saw how much she changed, and how hard she worked to provide for her family. She even gave up her education. I felt proud for her, and at same time I felt sorry, how hard she had work to provide for her family, and yet sometimes that wasn’t enough. I knew that Bri and her mom had their moments, especially when it comes to Bri;s rap, but I feel that was because she was afraid that she might lose her, the way that she lost her husband. She was trying to protect her. Despite their arguments, I knew that in the end they would be there for each other. Like Bri’s mother was when she found out what the guards at the school done to her, how they treated her. I knew that they would deny it, but I knew what they did was wrong, and that they shouldn’t been allowed back in school afterwards. I smiled, I cried, I got angry and I got scared while I read ON THE COME UP . It was as if I was feeling the emotions that characters were feeling in the story. It was…spectacular.Just like THE HATE U GIVE , ON THE COME UP will be a book that you will be thinking about long after turning the last page, the story that you will be talking with your friends about. I did. I thought about the story, and the impact that this book had on me, days after I finished it. I fell in love. I am already eager to see what ANGIE THOMAS will come up with next. Highly recommended. A must read.

    ANGIE THOMAS COMING IN STRONG
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2020*

'I'm so excessive,that I'm aggressive.'🗣️ ANGIE THOMAS COMING IN STRONG 👏I basically became a fan of this book from the first line and immediately knew that it was gonna be a favorite AKA the best feeling ever.I LOVE BRI. It's just so damn easy to love her and no lie, she's such a perfect portrayal of a teenager which I found impressive as hell. It's not easy to nail down that period of one's life, but Angie Thomas did that re: Bri can be stupid as hell, is not an exceptional student by any standards, and can definitely be immature, no big LOL. Even so, she's just so blunt which I always appreciate and is basically a badass.Bri's family is just...wow. I loved her sibling dynamic with her older brother, Trey and her relationship with her Mom has so many layers that I'm in awe. I'm also a fan of Aunt Pooh, Bri's lesbian 26-year-old aunt. Her inclusion in the book was so insightful because doing something you know you shouldn't and then doing it anyway (especially because of a lack of a support system) is one of the many ways that we delude ourselves and seeing it on page is kind of validating. I just want to hug her (and would read a book about her so fast).And then there are Bri's bestfriends, Malik and Sonny. Sonny is gay and oh my god, I loved him. So precious. Malik, though could be so infuriating but also alskfhgjs, he's right there. You could say that I'm kinda conflicted about Curtis but I have to admit that I liked him despite his corny af personality (me to me: et tu, Brute? LOL).Naturally, this is very different from The Hate U Give however, both the books are set in the same town so it's really great to see how different Starr's and Bri's lives are and how events in THUG affects Bri. That was such a great move on Angie Thomas' part.Another thing I really appreciated is the portrayal of poverty. Sometimes it gets pretty hard reading about it. When Bri's mom yelled, 'Excuse me because I have the audacity to be poor!', that gave me chills because that's exactly how the world acts towards poor people. Poverty is actually a big theme in the book that also drives Bri in a lot of ways and that was quite something to read about.Also, this book is full of burns and I BASICALLY YELLED AT ALL OF THEM. My favorite: 'Damn, Bri. He talked to you like a human being, now all of a sudden you're thirsty for him? What kind of heterosexual bullshit is that?' I laughed so hard at it and it was hilarious to see it being a popular highlight. Shout-out to all the other highlighters of this quote haha.Okay so, I'm no way even a listener of hip-hop and rap but! I still think that Angie Thomas would have made an awesome rapper. These lyricssss! I got 'You can't stop me on the come up' stuck inside my head and then there's the fact that there's gonna be a On the Come Up movie and Bri rapping her heart out, I'm !!!ANYWAY, READ ON THE COME UP. Dare I say that it's even better than The Hate U Give and Angie Thomas outdid herself so well.
