I started the year by reading The Hate U Give and accidentally bought a boxed set that included On the Come Up. I didn't really have any desire to read it. It was a solid story but I couldn't help but compare it to THUG which I LOVED. So as a standalone book yes it gave me all the feels but I wasn't as invested in the characters, lacked subtleties and didn't carry the same urgency with it. I think it's a great book for teens, especially those who aren't so into reading. I would recommend it to others. I won't read it again but I also won't forget it. I really think anyone would enjoy this book.
