Angie Thomas is queen! Another wonderful book and portrays underprivileged communities in such a way that it makes you believe you were right there with them. Another 5/5 stars and I can’t wait to see what Angie Thomas comes out with next!

So far I’m loving all of Angie Thomas’s books. So easy to read, which often means there’s no style to the writing, but this is one of the special ones that sits right in the pocket of having a genuine ‘voice’ while still being natural and not making me work hard.
Her characters are well drawn, and if sometimes her secondary characters lack a little complexity, they’re plot-movers in a way that makes it okay.
I also love feeling like I’ve gotten a peek inside a life on this earth that is not like mine.
Looking forward to Concrete Rose!

This book was phenomenal. I fell in love with Brianna, her friends and family and their lives, their minds, and their hearts.

Angie Thomas is officially one of my favorite authors now. I’ll read anything she writes from now on. She writes relationships so well. The Hate U Give has beautiful parent-child relationships, this book has beautiful sibling relationships.
I listened to the audiobook and the narrator, Bahni Turpin is now my favorite. She also read The Hate U Give and The Sun is Also a Star. She’s so expressive and does different voices for all the characters. Her voice can go from strong to vulnerable in a breath. She’s so good 😍

This book was a really good read. I liked it a lot. The only thing that knocks it down is the fact I had a hard time connecting with Bri as a character. Overall another great Angie Thomas book!

This book certainly lives up to the hype. I was not expecting it, but I applaud Angie Thomas for being abe to shed light on racism and violence from the point of view of a strong and black 16-year-old named Bri Jackson. Certainly a must read for young adults, and even, adults.

Great follow up to "The Hate U Give". Really enjoyed Bri's storyline.
