This book was amazing. At first i did not really like it, but then it started to get a little interesting because the main character, Imani started to talk about how bad her life is, not knowing her mother, how her father is always working and she only has her grandmother that is always in her room.

I would really like to write in-depth explanation for all the reasons why I did not like this book, but merely thinking about it makes my head spin. So I'll make it as concise as possible.
First of all, as I'm sure the majority of all other readers have already expressed, the explicit use of slang made the book very difficult to follow, understand, like, etc. Very few, if any, talk in the same manner as the characters of Gettin' Hooked.

This book was very realistic and kept me reading. It's about teenage cousins; one white (Kayla), and one black (Imani), who starts an internet hook-up site to try and find someone to go to the prom with. Kayla ends up going out of town on a weekend when she was home alone, leaving Imani with no choice but to go find her, along with Kayla's neighbor.
This is something I would never do, keeping in mind that there are petafiles and just plain crazy, phsyco individuals on internet sites. And More...

Imani just can't go to the dance with any guy! She has her heart set on Maurice. The hottest boy in town. And she has and idea how exacly to do that. A dating site. But when things get out of hand and people aren't who they say they are and the site gets too popular. She has to figure out how to fix it. But how can she do that with her cousin running off to another state to meet a boy from off line.

What I learned from this book is that everything online is not as safe as it should be or assumed to be.

i have learned that if you like someone you should just go on ahead and tell the person instead of going with somebody else to make them jealous
