Waiting on Wednesday

 

WoW is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where we talk about upcoming books that we are excited for!

Title: Concrete Rose 
Author: Angie Thomas
Publisher: Balzer & Bray 
Release Date: January 12, 2021 

If there’s one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it’s that a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad’s in prison.

Life’s not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav’s got everything under control.

Until, that is, Maverick finds out he’s a father.

Suddenly he has a baby, Seven, who depends on him for everything. But it’s not so easy to sling dope, finish school, and raise a child. So when he’s offered the chance to go straight, he takes it. In a world where he’s expected to amount to nothing, maybe Mav can prove he’s different.

When King Lord blood runs through your veins, though, you can't just walk away. Loyalty, revenge, and responsibility threaten to tear Mav apart, especially after the brutal murder of a loved one. He’ll have to figure out for himself what it really means to be a man.
Maverick's book!? Of course this is what I'm waiting for. And the cover is so simple but it has such a gorgeous appeal to it as well. Not much more that I can say but other than that I'm glad this is out in a little under a week at this point. 

What are you all waiting for?
