This definitely was not my favorite urban lit book & I don't think it would make it into my top 10. Unfortunately I found the story a bit slow - maybe there's another book that provided more background to this one because at many parts of the novel I found myself a bit confused. I'm not too sure why that is either. Swinson took the time to elaborate on all those things, but the book itself was a bit bizarre in its plot sequence.

I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY GOOD UNTIL I GOT TO THE ENDING. IT LEAVES YOU WONDERING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOSHI,NOW THAT SHE IS IN CUSTODY. SO I'M THINKING MAYBE THER IS A ANOTHER BOOK IN THE MAKING!! I HOPE SO CAUSE SO FAR KIKI HAS REALLY BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB. KEEP IT UP!!!!
This was an alright book. I found out at the END of the book that there is a book before it which would explain Yoshi, the main character and what she does, a lot more. So, I suggest you read the book before it. I can't remember what it's called right now.
If you're into the whole ghetto/gangsta/streets then this book is a great book for you. I'd recommend it. But it'd be a lot better if you read the book before hand.

(FROM JACKET)When things get too hot in Miami, criminal lawyer Yoshi figures she'll be safe if she goes home to Norfolk, Virginia, for a little while. But the streets there are just as mean, and a sistah needs to keep her head to avoid getting popped by a drive-by. And when Yoshi witnesses the brutal murder of a snitch by a ruthless drug dealer, she knows she'll be the next one in the gansta's sights. Out of time and abandoned by everyone but her cousin Carmen, Yoshi's goin' to have to learn to ...more
This book was the truth.. I can vouch for somethings that happened to Yoshi in the novel. I've been in situations where I didn't know whether I was going or coming.
