Reviews
Goodreads

 

This is the first young adult book I have ever read. It was an amazing experience reading this novel due to the author's ability to engross the reader and develop an attachment to the protagonist. The writing is realistic with intricately woven subplots that keep the reader guessing, and at times even astound. The diary format and continual action make this book quick-paced and keeps the reader engaged and moving forward. Although I personally grew up in a different time, I can understand that this work is probably reflective of a young adult's experience today. The author deftly brings to light domestic violence, sex, drugs, rape and even death all through the eyes of a young, rich black girl. As concerning as it may be that this younger generation is so utterly aware of the underbelly of society, this book and the future series will serve as a valuable resource through which they can cope with their very own real lives.
