Fast Life
Caught up in a world of easy money, designer labels and drug-dealing boyfriends, sixteen-year-old Kyra Jones is living life on the fast track. But when her single mom is offered a job that takes Kyra away from her old Chicago neighborhood, and the drugs and gang violence that go along with it, she finally realizes that there's more to life than Gucci, Prada and ghetto-fabulous bling. Starting over in a new place, with a new boyfriend, Justin, gives Kyra hope that life can be different. But sometimes the fast life catches up to you. And for Kyra, her only hope is to stay one step ahead of trouble.

Fast Life by Cassandra Carter will take you down the road of a teenager who moves from the life of drugs, violence, thug love, and fashion savviness, to a life of true love, self-development, and growth. The author is an eighteen-year-old who targets the teenage audience. The main character, Kyra, was well-developed throughout the book. The author clearly showed how Kyra went from loving the thug life with her boyfriend, Makai to finding out the true meaning of love through life lessons with her boyfriend, Justin. Cassandra's writing style was clear and intriguing with a strong storyline.You'll be dying to know what happens next; once you start reading this book, you will not want to put it down. Fast Life will fill the reader with various emotions - happiness, sadness, excitement, and hope. As a young writer, Cassandra Carter exceeded my expectations with her creative storyline and characters' development. I am definitely looking forward to reading more books by her as she continues her promising career. 5 Sistah Hugs Sistah Keyonna of the SistahFriend Book Club
