This book was very compelling, but I was very disappointed by the ending. I couldn't identify with Winter at all, even though I know many people like her. I hated her. All she cared about was ice and men and wearing name brands. She is one of the most superficial protagonists! I kept waiting for her to turn her life around, to realize how utterly STUPID she is for only caring about the BLING BLING and sex and looking good. But she never did. And what is up with Sister Souljah incorporating her own image into the novel? I thought that was a bit pompous. I kept waiting for Midnight to come and help Winter. Somebody needed to help the poor child. Maybe I just wanted a fairy tale ending. Even at the very bitter end, Winter still only cares about how good she looks compared to others. You'd think after all she had been through, she would have learned her lesson. I wouldn't be surprised if she would be back to her old tricks. There was no real resolution.:(
