Concrete Rose

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I listened to The Hate You Give last year for a book club discussion and loved it, so when I heard about Concrete Rose there was no questioning whether or not I was going to read this book.

I decided to read rather than listen to the audio to see if it would hit the same way and it still packed the same punch.

Angie Thomas has a way with words that effortlessly allows readers of all types to connect with her characters and the environment in which they reside.

I am so glad that we get to learn the background of Maverick's character and what shaped him to be the man, husband, and father he is in The Hate You Give.

I loved reading The Hate U Give (now i want to read it again) and it was so fun to read about Maverick’s story. Good to read a book from a point of view I’m not used to reading about and don’t experience.
