all the pressures and uncertainties of life, love may be the one sure

BOOKTALK (Wrap Back to the Title)
*** READER ADVISORY: EXPLICIT CONTENT ***
Despite
daily struggles of life on Newark streets, 16-year-old Seven McKnight knows one
thing’s for sure: handsome baller Josiah
Whitaker is destined to be hers and hers alone.
Seven may doubt her own sexy thickness and college-bound potential—but Josiah
and the boys all have their eyes set on her special assets.
Seven
finds that—despite all the pressures and uncertainties of life—love may be the
one sure thing. When it seems like everything
comes crashing down around her, will the protagonist keep a level head in a mad
confusing world? And will Josiah realize
there’s no other Shortie Like Mine?
