I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. I GREW ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK, AND ONCE I STARTED READING I HAD TO FINISH THIS BOOK. I READ THIS BOOK IN 1 DAY, AND WAS ANTICIPATING ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT. I KNOW THE SEQUEL WILL BE OFF THE HOOK. I TOTALLY RECCOMMEND THIS BOOK. IF WHAT YOU WANT, IS A GOOD URBAN NOVEL, WITH DEPTH, AND NOT CRAP THAT THEY CALL URBAN LITERATURE, WITH MISPELLED WORDS, THEN THIS IS A GOOD CHOICE BOOK TO READ. IF THE SEQUEL CAME OUT TOMORROW I WOULD BUY IT! I THINK READERS WILL CONNECT TO THIS BOOK AND TALENTED VOICE OF THE AUTHOR!!

I was actually shocked it was so good! This is a True Ghetto Fairytale indeed! I kept second guessing reading this one because she's a rapper, Now I have read rapper autobio's but fiction? Boy was I sleepin on this one! This was one of the best books I read in '06! I would of gave it a 5 if she wouldn't of left room for a part two :0) Which I'am bitting my nails waiting for! If you haven't gave this book a try...what are you waiting for?

I absolutely love this book... it so real and down to earth... I think its amazing how much Blossom just changed from being naiive to just being the bitch she just supposed to be.
I respect her wisdom and her courage and basically this book is so hard for me to let go.

So much that I would not even let any of my friends borrow it so they can read themselves.. they better go by their own.

I know where Queen Pen lives, Im about to go knock on her door and ask her if she finish with the damn sequel

This book reads like a soap opera....which is not really a bad thing...no real depth here....but, it's entertaining and that's what I bought if for....also left plenty much room for a sequel...just like friday on a soap opera....

Queen Pen's writing capabilities are worthy of praise. It seems as if Blossom's story rolled right off her tongue. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT READ! Blossom's life was a ghetto fairytale. She had an adoring, generous man and loving, devoted girlfriends. That is until the @#$% hits the fan.

I can't wait for the sequel! QP, please don't make us wait too long.

I was pleasantly surprised how well this book was written. It was intresting and constantly left you wanting for more. Hurry with the sequel.

I bought this book how many years ago and i'm asking the same thing everyone else is----- WHERE IS THE SEQUEL???? I don't think it's right to leave your readers hangin' on for soooooo long. If you didn't wanna take the time out to write it, then you should've ended it in the first book. Come on Pen!

This novel was written with the excellent pen of the urban world. Queen told this story as if she were one of the many young women who had dreams of living in the lap of luxury but, also didn't want to feel the shame of compromising themselves to have such a lfe. I really fell in love with the character Blossom. She was a strong young lady and she in the end was able to walk away with her head held high. I am hoping that there is a sequel to "Blossom", to see how she fared after leaving all the other crabs in the barrel snapping at her feet!!!! Big ups to Queen Pen, this one is a winner.
Peace and Blessings

I bought this book on a Friday morning and was done Friday night. I read it all through work, during, and after meetings, read it will eating lunch and dinner, and by 9:30pm I was left feeling fully satisfied with ending. I was ready for the next book. This was a well written book; that gave just enough to leave you yearning for the outcome in the next book. It reminded me of home. As a native New Yorker I can tell you that it hit closer to home, and the truth of the streets of the NYC. Everything for the homegirls, boosting, and to the lavish style of a hustler showing his girl the world, and the flip side of that world. It was gansta.

Queen Pen did her thing with this book. It was a good read. I actually finished it within a week. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel. This novel had suspense, love, drama and full of suprises!
