Whoever said "whoring wasn't easy" never lied! But somebody had to do it! Working the mean streets of Detroit was getting hard on young Kamone, with two small mouths to feed. Forced to get on the grind non-stop by her madam, Cookie, after being abandoned by her dopefiend, HIV infected mother, there's nothing Kamone won't do to get that paper - drugs, murder, sex, lies and...more

I loved this book. I heard so many great things about this that I had to read it for myself. I started this book this morning, worked 8 hours, and finished this book this evening. I seriously could NOT put it down. I got yelled at by my TWICE for reading instead of working. Tanika Lynch you got me in trouble with this page turner! Haha. BUY this book! You won't be able to put it down and if you have a heart, you WILL shed a few tears or at least get teary eyed. I cried all through the last few c...more
I read this in 6th grade along with a plethora of Triple Crown Series books. Sure, skanky, ghetto, useless-trash could be words describing these books but I see it differently. I see it through rose colored spectacles. I resonate with the characters sometime (stressing: SOMETIME).
The stories and characters portrayed in these Triple Crown Series books are really understandably stupid. Sure the narration gives off the impression that, hey maybe they can be collective and make smart decisions, but...more

MR ROMERO I AM NOT YET FINISHED BUT COULD YOU GO THROUGH THIS IN CLASS???????
Whoever said being a whore was easy, lied, but somebody has to do it! (Tanika Lynch, 2006, jacket summary, Whore) Falling through the black hole of society, and growing up in the hard street of Detroit, Kamone, 14, had to feed three mouths including herself by prostituting around the streets. Since she was left on her own at a young age, and coming from a family of tricks, and pimps, she turned to the only job she had h...more
I read this in one day. I couldn't put it down. The things that Kamone endured were horrendous and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. It was such a good read with many surprises and twists. I loved it. I recommend it to anyone over the age of at least 17. This is my first read by Tanika, and she had a great plot. Strong 4!!
Worthless watse of time. Why she believes a movie could come from this garbage, I dont know. Michigan has much better talent than this trash about trash. Read Dirty Money, or The Flint Series. Ashley & Jaquavis are great and Treasure Hernandez will have you not only turning pages but reading books in a day. This book AWFUL!!
This was a really good book. It was an easy read and interesting to read about a life that some people take the risk of taking. This book draws you in with an insight into someones eyes to be become a prostitute to make living easy with two baby sibilings. Scandalous with a love story, will it work or not?
Love this book..I happen to be in Borders and picked it up and put it right back on the shelf however some lady told me that i should really buy it and that it was a awesome book..so i did and i must say this book is crazy couldnt put it down

What I learned in reading this book was what I learned when I was a little girl.... USE YOUR HEAD.
Very painful to read....sad thing is that this type of stuff happens a lot out here.
I really enjoyed the dedication that the girl have to provide for her family.
First book my homegurl ever had me to read loved it. Been reading ever since.
This book was ok. Not really good but not really bad either.
i LOVED this book its deff my favorite i can read it over and over.
