Concrete Rose Book Review

 


We follow a young Maverick in Garden Heights in 90's where he's seventeen years old he was currently getting his life sort of together through his mum working two jobs and his dad in prison Maverick knew he had everything on the control until he finds out he's a father which turned his world upside down because the baby depends more on him since the baby mother Ishea found it stressful to look after him so Maverick had to do everything himself which he found looking after a baby challenging because he never done it before so through time he got use to it then struggles to balance school and work, fatherhood life all together...

Thomas has a voice that captures you to read more of her characters especially what I loved about Maverick was the insight you see as a young black teenage boy also known as a dad which was something that doesn't get spoken about also the drugs and gang element of young black boys like him having to leave boyhood in such a young age to enter into manhood, I think Angie has nailed the head and done it again when it comes to her family bounds and the rawness of her characters that you want more like the praises she gets Angie really gave her generation a voice and what makes this book powerful and interesting she brought a male lead which in books now there isn't a lot of boys like Maverick that are black being the light of young adult to help adults and teens to understand the reality of life so she has done it again folks!

How I Create My Characters?

Hello my fellow writers today I am going to talk about how I create my characters this idea was inspired by Lily If you want to know more her Instagram is @LilyAnnaWrites now let's get into this post! Q: so first of all you might want to know how do I create my characters names? A: basically I find names on baby name sites for my male characters I write more male characters than female because I feel there's something about writing boy characters that make my voice come out more, but everyone has a different taste of gender they write characters for.  most people weren't a fan of me writing boy characters but I'm not changing the gender I write for to make anyone happy, anyway okay enough ranting about that we're moving on now! Q: the other you might want to know is how old are my characters generally? A: at the moment my characters are high school teens going to school and learning about life also discovering themselves and I think teens are inter...
