I enjoyed this story better than the first book "Boy, Beauty & Betrayal." Perhaps it is because I knew all the characters and the situation already and so I could dive right into book two. In this book, Tanisha is pursued by an older boy, David. She likes him but doesn't know if they are really compatible since she is poor and from a broken home and David's parents are successful and live in the higher class area. Tanisha struggles with upper-class and lower-class feelings of inadequacy. Tanisha also spends two weeks at a leadership camp that is paid for by her school. There, she is one of the few black kids and wonders if she will be ostracized for the color of her skin. To complicate it all, Tanisha's mother suffers from bi-polar syndrome and Tanisha seems to take the brunt of her mother's anger when she is off her medications.
Tanisha is a flawed character and struggles with many issues that young people today are dealing with. She also struggles with her feelings about being black and about people who are white. This is not a subject that we often see in books. Normally it is the white person who makes problems based on the color of a person's skin. It was interesting to see how Tanisha dealt with her feelings about her brother dating a white girl and herself being attracted to a white boy at camp.
It will be interesting to see where this author takes Tanisha on her journey through childhood into adulthood. (
