A review by veecaswell
Watch Us Rise by Ellen Hagan, Renée Watson
5.0
A stirring and unputdownable read about what it means to be a woman today. Perfect for fans of The Hate U Give and Moxie.
Throughout this book is a combination of writing and poetry, and that works so well. The poems fit in perfectly throughout this book and really allows for the story to grow in a unique and brilliant way. The writing style in this book gives these characters, well, more character and gives you greater insight and depth to the people Hagan and Watson create.
The plot throughout this book though really is so empowering for the characters. I like that the romance is subtle in this book as it allows for the voices of the young women in this book to be loud and allows for this book to have such a brilliant and fierce ending that just made me sit there and smile and want to punch the air for them as I just felt so happy for them all.
A really great debut from these two fantastic writers, if you want a book that makes you feel like you could start a revolution in your living room, this is the book for you.
