APOOO Rating: 5 stars Rating: 5 starsSeventeen year-old mother of a baby boy, Toi McKnight realizes that things are not the way she imagined they would be. Gone are her dreams of being a family with her baby's father, Quamir, chilling with her friends, dressing in the flyest gear and attending college to become a teacher. She soon realizes that along with being a mother comes responsibilites and priorities come first.With all the drama that comes with being with Quamir, his doggish ways, cheating and having babies all over town, will she finally let go and realize that she deservesbetter? With her mother constantly on her back, will she realize that it is only with her mother's love that she just doesn't want to see her go through some of the same things she went through? Will she realize that with patience and determination that anything is possible?If I Was Your Girl by Ni-Ni Simone tells the story of a teenage mother and her struggles to be the best mother that she can be and pave the way for a brighter future for her and her child. I believe that all ages can benefit from reading this book. Especially if you were a teen mother at one time or have a child that is a teen mother. It shows the strength of a mother determined to see her daughter succeed to be the best she can be and helps her to realize that just because you have a child your dreams do not have to die. It shows a young girl grow into a responsible woman.IF I WAS YOUR GIRL was an excellent read that definitely deserves five stars! It was a fast-paced read, I literally could not put this book down. It had me laughing out loud with the crazy antics of some of the characters, such as: Cousin Shake, Ms. Minnie and her son Lil' Bootsy.
