I must say I had my doubts about this book.  But after reading the first few chapters I was completely hooked!  It had to be one of the best urban fictions I've read since B-More Careful.Chyna, only 15 years old, is living a life most 30-something year old women may go through; she realizes that life is more than just money, sex, and nice clothes -- but you need those interpersonal relationships to get you through the hard times.I will say Chyna had me upset a lot with her selfish, game playing attitude, especially when it came to her more-than-could-handle boyfriend Tyreik.  She learns that after being hurt by her boyfriend and her herself hurting close ones around her, she takes a journey into womanhood learning to grow as a person.I will say this book is a true page turner and I was done with it by the end of my weekend.  It does live up to its hype!
