This may very well be the most confused review ive written yet. Mainly because I have mixed feelings about this one.Kihanna Foster just learned she is really Kihanna Evers. Her mom just told her that despite what she was lead to believe her father is not dead, in fact he is alive well and uber rich. Quickly Kihanna is sent to California to live with her dad, Stepmother Veronica and Stepbrother Toby. So that Kihanna and her dad could get to know one another.Kihanna god bless her is dumb as a rock. I mean she is completely nave and clueless. You dont have to grow up rich to see the bull that was going on before her eyes. I mean seriously! Thank you Amare for not trying to convince me that she had a lick of sense that wouldve been insulting. When I first started reading the book it flew by I did like Kihanna but as the story progressed I became increasingly frustrating. I mean EVERY male character that was introduced unless they were older or gay were trying to get into her pants. She would comment on how good she looked in something but when complimented she would wonder why people thought that way. I mean really?!My saving grace was Toby, that dude cracked me up! Id read a book from his point of view in a heartbeat. He was soo unashamed about who he is that I was totally drawn to him. Another thing I really appreciated about this book was the amount of cussing going on. I for one am TIRED of all these YA books trying to convince me teens dont cuss or creative cuss (bullpoopie). I am not buying it. Ive been cussing since the dawn of time and I know plenty of others who have too so bravo on your realism!I greatly hope Kihanna wises up in the next book cause dayyyuummm shit got real at the end. We were hit with 2 different life and story altering changes. But really what would a Mercy Amare book be without the cliffhanger?
