On the Come Up by Angie Thomas Book Summary

The YA love letter to hip-hop—streaming on Paramount+ September 23, 2022! Starring Sanaa Lathan (in her directorial debut), Jamila C. Gray, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Lil Yachty, Method Man, Mike Epps, GaTa (Davionte Ganter), Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Titus Makin Jr., and Michael Anthony Cooper Jr.

#1 New York Times bestseller · Seven starred reviews · Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honor Book

This digital edition contains a letter from the author, deleted scenes, a picture of the author as a teen rapper, an annotated playlist, Angie’s top 5 MCs, an annotated rap, illustrated quotes from the book, and an excerpt from Concrete Rose, Angie's return to Garden Heights.

Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least win her first battle. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri’s got massive shoes to fill. But it’s hard to get your come up when you’re labeled a hoodlum at school, and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral . . . for all the wrong reasons.

Bri soon finds herself at the center of a controversy, portrayed by the media as more menace than MC. But with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri doesn’t just want to make it—she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be.

Insightful, unflinching, and full of heart, On the Come Up is an ode to hip hop from one of the most influential literary voices of a generation. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; and about how, especially for young black people, freedom of speech isn’t always free.

“For all the struggle in this book, Thomas rarely misses a step as a writer. Thomas continues to hold up that mirror with grace and confidence. We are lucky to have her, and lucky to know a girl like Bri.”—The New York Times Book Review

Plus don't miss Concrete Rose, Angie Thomas's powerful prequel to her phenomenal bestseller, The Hate U Give!

I loved it!!. This book was super intriguing and was very well written. I read this book after reading “the hate you give” by Angie Thomas, the author is truly talented. 10/10 would recommend:)

Love!!. Angie Thomas did it again! This is such a good book and I can’t wait to read Concrete Rose! I recommend it fully.

Another exceptional read by Angie Thomas. Excellent follows up to The Hate You Give. Compelling, riveting, and satisfying.

Angie Thomas does it again!. Another excellent book from Angie Thomas the follow up to T.H.U.G. doesn’t dissapoint and if you are able to listen to the audio book version Bahni Turpin is amazing once again!

SUPERB! ANGIE DID IT AGAIN!. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!! Just finished this masterpiece of a book and felt the heart and piece of soul that Angie put into it. This is a true ode to hip hop and based off her life and the narrative fits the scene set perfectly. On the come up had moments i could relate to from my childhood because I had a single mom and we sometimes struggled with food and bills. The music,tv shows and movie references made in the book as well as pop culture nods made me relate. I would like to say it is better if not just as good as The Hate U Give was when i read it. Everybody please go buy it, download it,listen to the audiobook and tweet about it and write reviews on amazon. I LOVE YOU BRI JACKSON!!! Also i’m scared Of Big Bird as Well...

Amazing and captivating story!. Angie Thomas has honestly become my favorite writer of this time! Got the book Sunday and finished it the following Tuesday! Thomas does an amazing job with connecting the lives of black teenage individuals of this time to readers, such as myself. Can honestly say I am learning a lot from her as a writer. Truly amazing book. 1,000/5 stars for anyone looking for a good read!

I LOVE IT!!. Love, love, love this book. It is totally worth it. Buy it, read it, share it. It’s amazing.
