I have to give this book a 3.5 rating. I liked it but this book needs to be better developed. The actions by the characters were unrealistic. Things would've made more sense if the boy was at least 18. Why would his parents allow him to do whatever he wanted at that age? He had a few vehicles and lived in the burbs, yet he hustled. I might have understood had he been really pushed into the streets but that wasn't the case. Then Venice...I liked her character but it wasn't that developed either. I hate when characters deal with hard issues but it's executed in a superficial way in the book. And this book doesn't seem authentic. It was like the author took bits from various books to come up with the plot. Still, somehow i like the story and then it ended. I understand that it's a short story so I don't have any complaints about that, but it seems like the story may have been written as a book and the author is just picking and choosing where to end it, then we'll have to wait for the next section of this book. It just seemed like an incomplete thought. Honestly, I will buy the next installment, but I hope the author gives a little more details and keep the story grounded in reality...and on a side note i love a bossy n**** do Deuce can keep that characteristic
