Growing up is hard enough, but when five friends argue, cry, laugh, pledge, fight, and hang together on an HBCU campus, a bond is formed. Seleste is a college junior studying criminal justice, denying her feelings for Memo, and facing the pressure of being a virgin when temptation surrounds her. Her best friend, Cara, is a college junior who lives in the dorms and has a friend with benefits, Arnez, who is more concerned with pledging with Jermaine than Arnez is with Cara. Jermaine is caught between the two because Cara is his ex-girlfriend and Arnez is in his ship. Arnez’s friend, Memo, is a troubled senior from New York who came to Chicago to escape his father's past as a crooked cop. Change for a Twenty is a fiction novel set in Chicago about five college friends, two nemeses, and the path to adulthood.

"Change for a Twenty" First time buyer of an online self-published book and was very pleased with the quality; especially liked the cover photo. Once I started reading "Change for a Twenty" I could not stop reading until I read it all. It was well written, so the story didn't drag and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. But when it ended it was sad to let the characters go, like losing new friends. The characterzations were vivid so that I felt I knew the people. "Change for a Twenty" would make a great movie.
