Title: a great read!
Review: I really liked this one! I would have given it more stars but it fell off toward the end, leaving too many ends untied. Earlier in the novel, the reader was led to believe that the Good Reverend was abusing his grandson but that issue was never fully addressed. Ava experienced her first AIDS-related symptom- and then what happened?? What happened with Imani? Did Aretha get the scholarship? I enjoyed the story but I felt that Ava's character could have been fleshed out a bit more- i knew her story but i never felt like I truly knew HER and what made her do the things she did. I know Pearl's work and I think its fantastic. This was good, too. I just think it could have been a little better.
