On The Come Up Book Review



the story talks about sixteen year old Bri aka Brianna who wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time but her family is struggling after her dad died, her mom and older brother Trey has been finding it difficult in the house they're living but when Bri raps "On The Come Up" in a studio after the ring battle she later realizes the world saw her that way and the song started to become popular her two best friends were happy about the song but when Mailk heard it he wasn't so impressed because he knew this wasn't what his best friend was and things went on and off for him and Bri in the book but the person who still supported her was Sonny and Bri ended up falling in love foe Curtis a boy who really adores her.

I enjoyed this book a lot because Thomas knows how to make you feel being a black girl wanted to achieve the dreams you want to be but when the world labels you as things that you're not can be painful and annoying also I loved how reality some topics were in this book because not being able to have money to live is a big thing in black girls so a lot of the times, I related a lot to that also Jay Brianna mom was the one I really felt for in this book because she had a character that makes me feel her pain, also she didn't want to cry in front of her children I connected a lot to that, but I adored Sonny more than Mailk they're times Mailk just felt a bit big headed for me, there is also a little bit of LGBT in this since Sonny and Miles are Gay and Aunt Pooh and Lena are Lesbian but sexuality doesn't really bother me a lot because the book made me laugh a lot especially Aunt Pooh she reminded me of an aunt that always tries to think she's a baddie when she needs to focus more on herself which could help her get out of trouble.

Hello Everyone welcome back to another blog post! Today post is actually a special one since "The Step Love" turns one year today and I asked everyone what plans I should do and by the way I loved the answers from bookstagram but I decided maybe I talk about how Tommy and Daniel came to reality for me to talk about them all the time to you guys. I remember it was 2015 and I was sitting in my room thinking of what else to write then this boy appeared into my mind and I thought about it twice then I saw another boy came as his brother then that's where I saw a Tommy and his little brother Daniel, then I started to see a boy and a girl forming something together and that's how Sarah and Tommy came then other more people plus Harriet too and the ideas for making Tommy and Daniel are not really my strength or anything, I think God knew I was an author since I was writing The Little Bear Stories and I wrote The Last Day Of School Term in 2010 then I took a long hiatus...

Not Like Other Girls Book Review
