I saw an interview where Angie Thomas said her inspiration for Concrete Rose was Russell Hornsby’s portrayal of Maverick in the THUG film. I totally get it - he was brilliant... just like Angie’s writing in this book. I cannot stress enough how fantastic this story is - not gonna lie, I did tear up a bit. I really hope this book becomes a film as well.
