This book has been responsible neither for the attempted extinction of a race of people, nor for Glitter and dog-whistle mimicry. If there are young girls out there who are misguided by all of the glitz and glitter of the drug game, this is an excellent story to set them straight.ĭavid has insinuated that this novel is in some way comparable to Hitler or Mariah Carey, which I think is unfair.

I wouldn't be surprised if it someone's real life story. Everything that was said and done was shockingly real. A girl, who is accustomed to the 'best', has to figure out how to live a life without it, as though she never had any more than anyone else. When tragedy strikes her family, her pops is locked up, and no one else is willing to help. She is the girl many young girls want to be in life. And in the end it also shows how history repeats itself or how life is a cycle when Winter's sister has fallen into the same trap.' Winter never sees her downfall until the very end.

The book mainly discusses her problems with spending money on ridiculous items and how she never realizes the problem with it. She uses her good looks and her game to manipulate everyone (including her immediate family) into getting what she wants. This mentality brings her to the destructive point in her life. Winter also sees no problem with spending a few hundred dollars on an outfit and other luxuries. Winter feels isolated and needs to go back to the ghetto and brag to her friends and complete strangers. They finally move out of the ghetto and into a rich, suburban area. Her father spoils her rotten and her mother feeds into this.

She grows up in the ghetto with a father who is a drug kingpin. Throughout the novel, she is constantly trying to 'stay on top'. Winter Santiaga is a spoiled, materialistic, troubled teenager.
