On the Come Up

Not quite in the same caliber as ‘The Hate U Give,' both in terms of writing and character development. The protagonist was a challenging character to root for. On one hand, you can understand her perspective, but on the other hand, her impulsiveness, immaturity, and lack of growth by the end of the book proved to be detrimental to the overall reading experience. Despite these drawbacks, the book remained quite readable, though.
