This book was a wild inner city adventure! I normally don't read these type of books, but then I thought why not I might actually enjoy it. Enjoy it I did! It reminded me of the movie Freeway due to the weirdness of it. When I say weird I mean a fun kind of weird that you don't easily find in books.
Dolores Santana and her best friend Serena Moon are as close as close can be. So when Serena ends up owing money to a lot of different people for her favorite street product Dolores is right by her side ready to help her out no matter what the consequences might be.
Together they come up with the perfect idea to bring in the money and pay off all of Serena's debt. A lot of problems arise and I did actually giggle a couple of times. Steak and slapping need I say more! But the story wasn't all fun and silliness it also had a dark side to it. How could it be weird otherwise! If your looking for something different and not sure what to read, I would recommend this book!
