As Bri's family faces rougher times than usual she enters a rap battle and wins. Then, she is attacked at school where the security guards are known to target POC. Brianna fights back with her music, making a song that addresses the issues in her neighborhood and school. When people misinterpret the song she has to deal with the consequences of her words, even if she didn't mean them.

I thought it would start the blog off strong and reread one of my favorites from last year; Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson. The story follows a sixteen-year-old girl, Mary Addison, who was convicted when she was nine for murdering a baby that her mother was babysitting; Alyssa Richardson. She gets out of prison, but will spend the next two years in a group home for teenage criminals. Until she gets pregnant. Now she has to tell the truth about what happened to that baby in order to save and keep hers.
