About this ebook
It's summertime in Bed-Stuy "Do or Die" Brooklyn, and Kate is feeling down in the dumps. Not only is she tired of her raggedy, tomboy image, but she's also missing her best friend, Felicia, who's away for the summer. Lonely and not exactly getting along with her new foster mother, Lynn, Kate so badly wants to be out and about, twirling pretty, and partying---and maybe catching the attention of her longtime crush, Charles.
Opportunity knocks one hot summer day when fly-girl Naleejah struts her stuff straight up to Kate and takes a seat. Full of smiles, Naleejah tells Kate that she remembers her from school, but Kate can't remember ever having such a fabulous chick trying to befriend her. Kate's suspicion turns to trust once Naleejah gives her a much-needed makeover.
Now a brand-new Kate suddenly has the attention of her dream boy. But is Naleejah checking for him, too? Against Kate's better judgment, she ignores the warning signs, and continues to let Naleejah lead her down a treacherous path. Soon, what seems like a fun and exciting summer ends up being a harsh reality check. Now Kate must decide how to get back on the right track . . . or is it already too late?

This book was alright. Wasn't really what I expected. Kinda had some corny punch lines and was long and drawn out for no real reason. Its about a tomboy girl named Kate, who goes from foster care, to group homes and foster homes. Finally gets situated in a stable house and almost messes everything up after befriending a hoe named naleejah, she didn't remember going to school with. She then comes to the realization that naleejah doesn't have her best interest at heart after naleejah slept with kate's crush.

I expected a better ending! When i finished the book the first thing that came to mind was " that's how it ends!" It's like all these intense things happened and in the end we don't find out how situations end and we don't know what happens to most of the characters!

I read this book in three days. I was working out while reading and I must say it was an easy read! Hated the way it ended though. I thought there was going to be more!
