Starring Sanaa Lathan (in her directorial debut), Jamila C. Gray, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Lil Yachty, Method Man, Mike Epps, GaTa (Davionte Ganter), Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Titus Makin Jr., and Michael Anthony Cooper Jr. #1 New York Times bestseller · Seven starred reviews · Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honor Book Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least win her first battle. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri’s got massive shoes to fill. But it’s hard to get your come up when you’re labeled a hoodlum at school, and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral . . . for all the wrong reasons. Bri soon finds herself at the center of a controversy, portrayed by the media as more menace than MC. But with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri doesn’t just want to make it—she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be. Insightful, unflinching, and full of heart, On the Come Up is an ode to hip hop from one of the most influential literary voices of a generation. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; and about how, especially for young black people, freedom of speech isn’t always free. “For all the struggle in this book, Thomas rarely misses a step as a writer. Thomas continues to hold up that mirror with grace and confidence. We are lucky to have her, and lucky to know a girl like Bri.”— The New York Times Book Review Plus don't miss Concrete Rose , Angie Thomas's powerful prequel to her phenomenal bestseller, The Hate U Give ! Review: Spectacular, Powerful Story. - Another inspiring, magnificent story. I fell in love with ANGIE THOMAS’S Writing when I picked her debut novel, THE HATE U GIVE which I read last year, twice. I been excited about ON THE COME UP from the moment that she announced it on twitter. How could I not? Considering how much her debut novel affected me. When I started reading ON THE COME UP I was instantly hooked, to both the story and the characters. I had feeling that it would be a story that I would fall in love with. I did. I even recommended to a few of my friends as well. ON THE COME UP was different on THE HATE U GIVE and in the good way. I loved how Bri kept on fighting, despite what others said about her, to her. Not once did she give up on her dreams, and to me that’s dedication, courage. You cannot help but love Bri, and I know that she is type of person that I would love to be friends with. I don’t rap and only listen to rap music sometimes, and I thought that Bri’s rap that she came up with was catchy, and I actually found myself singing along with it few times, while I was reading the book. I hated how others started treating her afterwards, I understand that they thought the message that she was sending to others, but that gives them no right to assume what that song was about. I don’t know how she did it, how she handled it for as long as she did. If it was me in that situation, I wouldn’t be able to. That was one of the things that I loved about Bri, and how she kept going after her dream, no matter what was said about her song. What I loved the most about this book was how realistic it was. Poverty. Addiction. Gang is something that actually happens, and I am sure that it is what a lot of people can relate to. Bri, she dealt with so much in this book. Besides Bri, her mother was my second favorite character in ON THE COME UP but then how could she not be? She’s recovering addict and just by reading this story, I saw how much she changed, and how hard she worked to provide for her family. She even gave up her education. I felt proud for her, and at same time I felt sorry, how hard she had work to provide for her family, and yet sometimes that wasn’t enough. I knew that Bri and her mom had their moments, especially when it comes to Bri;s rap, but I feel that was because she was afraid that she might lose her, the way that she lost her husband. She was trying to protect her. Despite their arguments, I knew that in the end they would be there for each other. Like Bri’s mother was when she found out what the guards at the school done to her, how they treated her. I knew that they would deny it, but I knew what they did was wrong, and that they shouldn’t been allowed back in school afterwards. I smiled, I cried, I got angry and I got scared while I read ON THE COME UP . It was as if I was feeling the emotions that characters were feeling in the story. It was…spectacular. Just like THE HATE U GIVE , ON THE COME UP will be a book that you will be thinking about long after turning the last page, the story that you will be talking with your friends about. I did. I thought about the story, and the impact that this book had on me, days after I finished it. I fell in love. I am already eager to see what ANGIE THOMAS will come up with next. Highly recommended. A must read. Review: ANGIE THOMAS COMING IN STRONG - 'I'm so excessive, that I'm aggressive.' 🗣️ ANGIE THOMAS COMING IN STRONG 👏 I basically became a fan of this book from the first line and immediately knew that it was gonna be a favorite AKA the best feeling ever. I LOVE BRI. It's just so damn easy to love her and no lie, she's such a perfect portrayal of a teenager which I found impressive as hell. It's not easy to nail down that period of one's life, but Angie Thomas did that re: Bri can be stupid as hell, is not an exceptional student by any standards, and can definitely be immature, no big LOL. Even so, she's just so blunt which I always appreciate and is basically a badass. Bri's family is just...wow. I loved her sibling dynamic with her older brother, Trey and her relationship with her Mom has so many layers that I'm in awe. I'm also a fan of Aunt Pooh, Bri's lesbian 26-year-old aunt. Her inclusion in the book was so insightful because doing something you know you shouldn't and then doing it anyway (especially because of a lack of a support system) is one of the many ways that we delude ourselves and seeing it on page is kind of validating. I just want to hug her (and would read a book about her so fast). And then there are Bri's bestfriends, Malik and Sonny. Sonny is gay and oh my god, I loved him. So precious. Malik, though could be so infuriating but also alskfhgjs, he's right there. You could say that I'm kinda conflicted about Curtis but I have to admit that I liked him despite his corny af personality (me to me: et tu, Brute? LOL). Naturally, this is very different from The Hate U Give however, both the books are set in the same town so it's really great to see how different Starr's and Bri's lives are and how events in THUG affects Bri. That was such a great move on Angie Thomas' part. Another thing I really appreciated is the portrayal of poverty. Sometimes it gets pretty hard reading about it. When Bri's mom yelled, 'Excuse me because I have the audacity to be poor!', that gave me chills because that's exactly how the world acts towards poor people. Poverty is actually a big theme in the book that also drives Bri in a lot of ways and that was quite something to read about. Also, this book is full of burns and I BASICALLY YELLED AT ALL OF THEM. My favorite: 'Damn, Bri. He talked to you like a human being, now all of a sudden you're thirsty for him? What kind of heterosexual bullshit is that?' I laughed so hard at it and it was hilarious to see it being a popular highlight. Shout-out to all the other highlighters of this quote haha. Okay so, I'm no way even a listener of hip-hop and rap but! I still think that Angie Thomas would have made an awesome rapper. These lyricssss! I got 'You can't stop me on the come up' stuck inside my head and then there's the fact that there's gonna be a On the Come Up movie and Bri rapping her heart out, I'm !!! ANYWAY, READ ON THE COME UP. Dare I say that it's even better than The Hate U Give and Angie Thomas outdid herself so well. ## Features - On The Come Up Hardcover – February 5, 2019 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #148,974 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #31 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction on Prejudice & Racism #36 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Emotions & Feelings #99 in Teen & Young Adult Coming of Age Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,200 Reviews | ## Images ![On The Come Up - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717jM5C5rGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spectacular, Powerful Story. *by J***. on July 21, 2019* Another inspiring, magnificent story.

Part One: the music Part Two: the life of Bri The Music part, with that I mean the lyrics and rapping, was eye-opening. It’s no surprise that I know nothing about rapping. It's not a genre I'm listening to. But the way Bri rhymed those verses on the spot, with barely any time for preparation was AMAZING. Now, I just want to know if these rapping competitions are really a thing. As an adult I saw some of the plot already written on the wall. I’m more aware of what’s to come by just having life experience. Some things are just too good to be true. The promise of a better life vs staying true to oneself. Not selling yourself short. Taking the hard way instead of the easy one. Now, about Bri’s life. As with The Hate U Give, the author writes not only about a teenager so very different to my own teenage self, but also about an issue that needs to be addressed. And if it’s just to let everyone know that this is still a problem in many areas of the US and probably worldwide. And I’m not talking about skin colors, it’s about gang violence, drug distribution, kids afraid of going to school, and discrimination. Moreover Bri’s entire life is the very opposite of everything I experienced myself growing up. Because of it, the plot is captivating, thought provoking but never more than what it’s supposed to be, a story. I really enjoyed Bri’s interaction with her friends, family and adults. She always stays true to herself, even when she navigates this new exciting music opportunity. Although not all of her choices are the right ones. More than once I wished she had an adult to guide her. So, after finishing this book it’s confirmed that I’m a BIG fan of Angie Thomas. It doesn’t matter what she writes, I’m going to read it. Her books are well written, thoughtful, and eye opening. The characters are interesting, entertaining and always engaging. I’m definitely looking forward to her next book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/75433969-on-the-come-up](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/75433969-on-the-come-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
