Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorite books
Review: When I first read this book, I was absolutely shocked at the bluntness of the characters, and especially, the author's graphic way of depicting things. But what makes this book awesome is the fact everything is so real, to know it could happen to anyone, even you.

The story is based around Janie, who grows up a harsh and rugged life around drugs, violence, and endless crimes. We she doesn't realize, however, is that she is destined for no real future at all. It tooks the whole book for her to finally realize this, and by then, it is too late to change what has already happened. But she could provide a good and content life for her daughter, Etta - the life she never had. Janie/Leshaya makes many bad choices, but eventually learns from her mistakes.

I reccommed this book to anyone, though everything is very blunt, and the character basically speaks her mind. Nothing is held back, including everything from wild parties to pregnancy and drug dealing. Read openly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deep- a very hardcore read into a teenage girl`s mind
Review: ~*~When i started to read this novel i thought to myself " Oh, GREAT! Another depressing novel." I'm glad I gave it a chance because in the end I loved it. I would even go to the extent and say that I would read it again. I reccomend this novel to anyone who enjoys reading about people overcoming the odds despite their difficulties in life. This novel is definately a page turner. You never want to put it down you always want to know what is going to happen next. In my class we were gave 9 weeks to finish a novel and I think I finished this one in 6 days. Read this book... you'll love it.
