Her debut novel, The Hate U Give (T.H.U.G) set the bar high.
The title comes from the Tupac Shakur song “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” and will follow Maverick’s when he is 17-years-old and a young father to Starr’s older brother, Seven. Belle’s Book Review: Concrete Rose Angie Thomas has managed to blow the minds of her readers once again.
“And what was fascinating to me was once readers started reading The Hate U Give and then when the film came out, he was the character that I was asked about the most.” Like Thomas’s last book, “Concrete Rose,” takes its title from a Tupac Shakur title. “Of all characters who really just stayed with me, Maverick was at the top of that list,” Angie explained to People. Speaking to People about her upcoming novel, Thomas explained why she chose to center the book around the father of the protagonist from her first novel.
