Angie Thomas’s second book, On The Come Up, is a great piece of literature that is both educational and inspirational. In the story, main character Bri follows her dream to become a rapper, despite her mother’s initial opposition, in order to support her family through hard times. My favorite parts of the book were Bri’s interactions with her older brother because they were relatable to my own experiences with my sibling. Like the author’s first book, The Hate U Give, this novel brings to light the struggles mainly forced upon Black communities. Everybody must take part in eliminating this inequality and reading this book can be your first step to reach that change.
