This book will make you feel like you are wasting your life.I couldn't even get through it, but I said to myself; "I must be well versed in al genres of writing, even this new hip-hop-lit stuff." However, this is worse than hip hop music. You feel society slipping off of the face of eternity as you read just the first chapter.Poor prose, poor word choices. The only vivid descriptions are of sex scenes, and even they aren't done with class or any literary skill. This book is also riddled with typos. White Chocolate needs to kick her editor in the teeth.Don't buy this book. Even though it's obviously marketed for young inner city girls, this is not the representation they need. Not for their self-esteme, not for anything.
