Reshonda Tate Billingsley presents with a reality television type of novel. I say reality television because it has the type of storyline that pulls you in and keeps you there wondering what is going to happen next. The characterization of these young adults is consistent with current high school students, making this story not only intriguing but totally believable.Maya Morgan is an over the top personality that comes from a wealthy Miami, Fl family attending a high school of other wealthy students. Maya and a group of her friends star in a show similar to MTV's "My Sweet 16", where young adults are playing out their lives in front of the camera. Unfortunately the camera for some of them stops rolling. The network decides that they only want Maya and gives her, her own show.The rest of the crew is totally upset by what appears to be Maya's betrayal. They feel like Maya did not stick up for them as long as gets hers. In comes the get back. Her so call friends seem to turn against her and give her the cold shoulder as they convince the rest of the school to do the same. To add insult to injury, Maya's own boyfriend kicks her to the curb.Maya learns a secret about one of her former friends. Instead of being a true friend, she puts it on the air and then feels threatened when it appears that she is being stalked. Maya is in fear of her life, but when she discovers the identity of her stalker she gets the surprise of her life.Every young adult should put this book at the top of their to be read list. Congratulations to Ms. Tate Billingsley for being able to successfully write in any genre.Eleanor S. Shields, Black Butterfly Review
Great book for teenagers. I love the author. All the books I've read are all excellent. Keep em comin please.
Great read for young adults
It was ok.
Great book for young adults. Good plot & story. Something every high schooler can relate to. Very we'll written and not easy to predict the end.
It's hard to pick a clear person to root for in the book simply because the main character and her frienemies all do some pretty foul things. You have to choose the lesser to two evils a lot in this story.
