"What I'd like to read..."
I edit insurance and test manuscripts daily and I can tell you right now, they're boring. If I had the choice, I'd edit African-American fiction books like these. I love to read stories from a young perspective, and from the sample chapter I read, it would be a delight to curl up and finish this book. Even though the point of the story is dark, the author has a great hand on how young people talk, act, and think. Sometimes when we grow up, we forget that...but not her. The only con I have for this author is that there are several times when verbs go from past to present tense. But the character development and dialogue are what I concentrate on, and this author has that down!
