I believe Gege just hates us and his characters and his manga and probably his life as well.

I'm just wholeheartedly disappointed, the only good thing about this book was the epilogue and the concept of why all this took place and why this is the end, he absolutely ruined the ending and I'm so mad because the concept was so good.
He just had to drag the series through this book. I'll get to reading the novellas (even tho they are like 300+) soon so I hope I won't be as disappointing as this.

This book was insane. This book was everything. It was a freaking rollercoaster for me and for Pippa our main character fr the amount of stress that this girl had to go through throughout this book was unbearable.
I didn't have expectations in regards of this book and I think that may be due to the fact that I feel that some authors start to ruin their own series in a way by making it lengthly or by repeating themselves or by ruining likable characters but this book was perfect from start to finish. Everything was so calculated and so well done to a point that I was so mad that it was going to end (I still have book 3 thank God, and the rest of her books as well)
This book synopsis gives you nothing but by the end of the book you would be feeling full, this will be the second book to add in my reading journal and the first 5 star of the year.

I know I gave this book a 3 stars but really it wasn't a bad one.
I have expressed my genuine feeling at the start of this book when I said that I feel like this an intimate story it's like I shouldnt be reading this words it feels as if I'm intruding these two.
This is how I felt at roughly the first 50% of this book, it felt like a calm story then it started to get relatively repetitive. Repetitive to the point where one of the characters said something so lame I had to drop a star for that shit.
The story resembles two individuals meeting for the first developing not feelings but some sort of an intimate understanding of each other. The book highlighted the police brutality against black people as well as the sickening sticking judgement that they face without even opening their mouth. How danger equals black and how crime is the black people's logo.
It had mentions of death multiple (here's your TW) and how one deals with it. It talks about what it is to be looked at and to be seen and I quote:
"It’s one thing to be looked at, and another to be seen; you’re scared that she might not just see your beauty, but your ugly too." And that:
"To be you is to apologize and that apology comes in the form of suppression. That suppression is indiscriminate. That suppression knows not when it will spill."
This book served as reflection of what is forced on us in life, in our environment and our community and what is that we force ourselves to indulge.
How that if you keep everything bottled up you'll end up spilling over yourself and others (AND OTHERS) you'll feel unbearable to live with and here I don't mean the people close to you no, I mean you won't be able to handle yourself, you'll keep on closing up further and further until you are left alone because it's easy to punish yourself when others aren't there, so severing ties serves as an excuses for you to torment yourself more and more. Or really this was my own thoughts ? I don't know
What I disliked was the writing from that 4th pov or so because it was confusing at some time as well as the repetition and a very lame line that annoyed me sm I had to drop an entire star from the book (Also this is my 3rd book or so on kindle YAY)

On the Come Up by Angie Thomas

I’m still in shook on how good this book is, the writing is on point man, the characters and their development, where the story takes place and everything about this book was so good that I can’t put words to it for real. I love Angie Thomas from now on and hopefully I will soon read ‘The Hate You Give’ and truly she needs to write some more
