Customer Reviews

A book to remember.

True enough, the book starts out slow (as do most stories), but this story gives you a new outlook in the minds of some females in urban life. It touched me. I am a Black female from a suburban life and have oftened wondered why do my fellow race-mates feel that that is the life for them. After reading this book, I feel an incredible empathy for them now. The book was raw enough to feel that you were there, and real enought to KNOW that you were there. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is, I wasn't moved in the begining. But from mid-point on, I was hooked.
