designer labels and drug-dealing boyfriends, sixteen-year-old Kyra Jones is living life on the fast track. But when her single mom is offered a job that takes Kyra away from her old Chicago neighborhood, and the drugs and gang violence that go along with it, she finally realizes that there's more to life than Gucci, Prada and ghetto-fabulous bling. Starting over in a new place, with a new boyfriend, Justin, gives Kyra hope that life can be different. But sometimes the fast life catches up to you. And for Kyra, her only hope is to stay one step ahead of trouble.
Synopsis:
When she is forced to move from her old Chicago neighborhood, where she was caught up in a dangerous world of designer labels, drug-dealing boyfriends, and easy money, sixteen-year-old Kyra Jones discovers that there are more important things in life when she starts over in a new town. Original.

I loved this book. It's sounds like something that could actually happen to anyone. The characters are so daring, it's like they are actually are talking to you. Then all the other books I have read from Cassandra Carter they are also hard to put down. Last, but not least i would reccomend this book to anyone reading a book so hard to put down. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
