This book was an attention grabber!!! I read it in one day because I couldn’t put it down. It was a very long book but each page was worth reading. It was a complete story with no missing information to keep you guessing. It was full of action and without being obscene and vulgar. This book was so good that you would find it in the dictionary under that definition GOOD!!! The author as you can see impressed me with the construction of her book.
Imani In Young Love and Deception is about a 16-year-old girl named Imani who loves to play basketball at Westmoore High School and is on her way to college. She’s falling in love with a basketball player named Tyler but she tries to remain cool and keep it on a friendly level—but there is a lot of twisted schemes and accusations that go along with this relationship especially when a girl named Bhriana who has her eyes set on Tyler and will do anything to get him steps into the game.
The positive message that comes from this book is to stay attentive and not let anything take you off your path like Imani having her mind set to play basketball and she won’t let anything stop her—not Bhriana or anyone else. She kept up her grades and she stayed focused. It also focuses on how to tell if someone is a true friend. Can you really call a person a friend if they are getting you in trouble and disrespecting your friends? I think not. There is a lot of craziness going on by people who claimed to be friends but act as foes, such as… well you have to read it in the book!!!
Overall, the book had me doing a lot of thinking and making the right choices something my parents stress everyday.
There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like about the book and the story outline was awesome. It will leave you eager to read the second book. I would highly recommend this book to all teens and adults because you won’t be able to put it down.
