An excellent and nice story

I had to read this book for school and at first I thought it would be another boring book which I wouldn’t read completely. When I bought the novel and read the text on the back of the book , I asked myself what could be interesting looking at the lives and relationships of three teenagers in the USA. I tried to find an answer by reading the novel and I got it. After the first pages I couldn’t stop reading, sure I made breaks but I was caught by it for a few days ‘till I finished it. I’ve read it as if it was a book I’ve bought for myself and not for school. But why was I so interested in reading it? I think the answer is very easy: I am very impressed by Ms. Hewett’s writing ability and I just wanted to know hoe the story goes on. Besides ‘Coming Of Age’ let me know, that you can also read interesting books at school ;-) , because the action fits to the modern youth society.
The book is wonderful, realistic portrayal for example of a young woman who gets to find out who she is, while managing to fall in love at the same time. This story is touching, funny, realistic and a page turner about an African - American woman in her last year of high school. I’ll never forget the complex characters, the vivid location or the unforgetable plot. I didn’t miss anything.
The author deals with different things in this book: On the one hand there are conflicts between the protagonists and on the other hand you learn something about people who are in a special social level ( for example drug dealer). So the reader gets aware of some problems in America and the whole world which should be solved quickly in a particial way. In addition to this , the book is about youth and deals with their daily problems. It is about the development of becoming an adult, which makes the readers think about their lives and getting another view of life.
There are different characters, which are described in their own, different and alternating views. This makes reading funny, but you can also see differences between people themselves and how they think about each other.
Si it is a nice novel and I think such types of books should be read more often in school because it dealswith the daily and social problems of black people ( and we didn’t know as much as we should about their problems) and makes the reader think about what life is really like.
