Jay sacrificed a lot so that Bri and her brother, Trey, had a good education and didn’t have to worry about money.
The security team at her school stops her “randomly” and she refused.
The first big incident in this book is watching Bri get thrown to the ground with a knee in her back. Bri lives in a world where she’s constantly underestimated. Which made it easy for me to see the slight “micro aggressions” Bri deals with everyday. I can picture what was going on very well and I could feel how Bri felt in all of her circumstances. The neighborhood Bri is from, the people in her life, these tiny mannerisms like they way they talk or carry themselves really brings these characters to life. On top of that, it really brings the story together. Not to say that it’s full of slang that you can’t tell what’s going on, but it’s enough to make it relatable to many young people today. This book reads like a teenager wrote it. So she tries to make her rapping dreams come true.įirst off, let me talk about Angie Thomas’s writing style. As you can tell, there’s a lot of stuff happening in Bri’s life and she feels the need to help in some way. Her family isn’t doing well to keep the lights on. Her mother was devastated by his death and turned to drugs for a little while. Her father was a rapper because he was murdered by a rival gang. Bri is a young teenager looking to make a name for herself as a rapper. If you’re looking to find The Hate U Give Part 2, you’re looking in the wrong place. I loved Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give, and I knew I would love On the Come Up. Let me tell you how I’m not happy about breaking my TBR to fit this book in, but I will say that I’m happy I read it.
