Ranters and Reviewers discussion

I really loved this one. It was one of my favorite books :)

I really, really need to read it! It's on my list for Christmas :)

I also loved this book. Such a needed YA book and it was done SO well.

This book literally made me feel all the emotions under the SUN. Such a fundamentally good YA novel! Chills, squeals, punches were my companions throughout this story. Seriously. All of THAT.

Yes, it was so eye-opening in raising awareness about issues like police brutality and racism, which are definetely relevant to our society today!

i absolutely loved this one i read it this summer, it is a very needed book and other than that it was very well written.

I am currently listening to the audio book and it's pretty interesting

I'm glad you are enjoying it, it's amazing

The Prequel just came out. It's about her dad. I gave it a 9.5/10 read it in under 20 hours. cried, cheered. I recommend reading it. "Concrete Rose" is the name.

ooh! i'm going to get the prequel soon i think

I'm definitely going to read the prequel at some point! THUG was so good.

have you guys read on the come up? I've bought THUG and on the come up, and I've read them both at least 3 times (or 4).

No, I haven't, but I'm planning on reading that one as well!

I’ve read On The Come Up ( I hope to read Concrete Rose soon) and I really enjoyed it!

Yes! It's so good, and I have to wait for weeks to read Concrete Rose because I want the audiobook :(

I would try to get the audiobook but knowing my loan system that would take a LONG time

i started reading On The Come Up than school got in the way and i never picked it back up. trust me when you get Concrete Rose you’re gonna wanna read THUG over again 😭🤚🏾

the hate u give is such a powerful book with an important message, i def recommend it

Oh, I read this recently! I liked it. I wasn't crazy about the writing, to be honest - I kind of felt like it told me a lot of things instead of showing me them. But I do think it's a very important and powerful book and definitely a classic.

Agreed. That's why I liked the movie better, but the book was definitely really powerful.

@lezzaroonie I haven't watched the movie yet, but I want to!

Really great book. It’s got some messages that are important at the moment. And on a light-hearted note, I love the HP references that the characters make.

I enjoyed reading this book!
