While I really enjoyed On The Come Up, this was the book that made me realize I'm not into young adult contemporary novels anymore. I'm 100% a fantasy person, but thought I stilled enjoyed the odd YA contemporary here and there. And I do to some degree, this was still a good read, but I don't think contemporary is something I'll be reaching for anymore. With that being said, I tried to be as objective as possible with my rating, because it's not fair to rate something lower than it deserves just because the genre is no longer what I like. So I'm giving this 4 stars! But as for a proper review, I won't be leaving one. I've left the same comment in the review space for other books with similar content, but the opinions of a white person aren't needed here. Go read reviews written by people who can actually relate to this story and speak on the topics written in this book
