Style: Young Adult, Realistic fiction
Rating: 5/5

"What can I tell you?  Roses can bloom in the hardest conditions"

Angie does it again!  Gosh I just love her books so much.  The Hate U Give, THUG, was such a masterpiece and Concrete Rose did not disappoint. It was great to see Mavericks as a teenager and how he came to be who he was in THUG.  Angie Thomas crafts her stories beautifully.  She makes you love her characters and many times her stories leave you feeling emotionally drained.  I did this one on audio and there were a few times I had to turn off audiobook just to weep. I highly recommend this one!
