[REVIEW] On the come up

On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked this YA book: we meet a teenager who wants to be a raper and bad-ass just like her father, without really understanding the consequences just because she´s naïve... or should I say, just a teenager...
The family struggles a lot, mainly because of prejudice, which is nice to see through the eyes of the teen and how she feels responsible for "saving" her family at 16 y.o..
I am in a phase where YA books need to be read with care and in very slow doses, otherwise I spend the whole time rolling my eyes... I tend to forget how teenagers are really dumb, just like I was!
