Well I read this book as a Freshman or Sophmore in college and all I remember is that this was Winter was my best friend. Every aspect. And I bought her a book and she read it and for a whole second she looked at herself in the mirror.

Well yes I think the characters are shallow and undeveloped but I think that's the point young girls missing the deeper meaning of life.

I thought then book was a good representation of a young girls mentality. Winter had the beautiful body and looks. She had the brains but never understood the meaning of developing them. She only understood the hustle. But understood it has though it was a family treasure handed down from generation to generation that no else could understand. Her dream were small and so was her mind because the ghetto was her world.

Only part I didn't like was the fact that the book ended to quit.
