My Review
(So worth the lost sleep)
Ok – Pepper Pace did it again for me. Because I was a fan of “Juicy”, I decided to read this series. I lost one night of sleep over it but is was totally worth it. Well how do I began… I pulled an all-nighter to finish this; it was a good, very fast paced read and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I seldom get a read in which I just have to read the whole series at once but this one got me. Let me tell you about this story…
.
Just the synopsis had me and I wanted to know more. I was interested in this story in the beginning; loving hip hop myself, I think hip hop listeners will enjoy all the artists speak. Once again I learned something new and totally connected with the characters of the book. I am sure you can see yourself in at least one of them. This story hits on the subjects of depression, Crohns disease, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, fear of being hurt, cancer, death and dying, and on a lighter note, the love for hip hop and music ranging from the 70’s Motown and up. It brought up great back memories of “Beat Street” and other movies (which is aging me as I mention). The characters find a way to either overcome or work with what God gave them to their advantage. Once again Pepper Pace develops characters well and takes you on a journey about this misfit group that seem to work well together in the end. There ups and down are very common to all but yet you don’t think about those who have special needs unless you have them too; the author does a great job understanding there challenges. You will be rooting for Top (Jason) and Sweetheart in the HC (Robin) and riding the roller coaster of their lives. Cry, laugh, roll your eyes and neck and scream while reading the series. I guess now I can go sleep and get ready for the next book ride.
