This book is about a woman named Toya who is in a catch 22 situation she witnessed the murder of man who was also her boyfriend. The guy who set up for her boyfriend to be killed was her "Side Piece" Russ who used Toya to unknowingly set up her boyfriend. After the murder Toya is able to ID the trigger man and Russ isn't about to have that so he puts out a bounty for Toya(alive). So in comes 3 friends Dre, Rondell, & June who take the bounty that Russ is offering. Russ' only stipulation is under NO circumstance are any of them to have sex with her. They are only to find out if she intends to testify and offer her more money to keep quiet. But each guy has their own plans for Toya and each of them goes against what Russ forbade them to do.I felt kinda bad for Toya but then again I didn't in reference to her being as old as she is (23) and NOT having a job. She is expecting people to just take care of her when she is more than old enough to take care of herself. Toya finds herself in a position where she can't trust ANYONE and then she finds herself in the presence of one of the men that Russ has sent to "handle" her. But with everyone against her and no one to turn to Toya finds herself trusting the very person that she shouldn't with her life. The only question left is if trusting this person with her life will end it or better it? This book was ok to me it wasn't anything to "write home about" per se but it was decent enough to endure. I won't be reading "That Girl 2" because nothing happen in the book to make me feel compelled to want to know more. So I say since the book was only $0.99 get it I mean it was worth the money and the time spent.
