Friends, Faith, and Fun,

This review is from: It Is What It Is: A So For Real Novel (Paperback)
It Is What It Is by Nikki Carter is a fun, hip read with tons of laugh-out-loud moments. Gia is a high-school sophomore who just wants to have fun. But her circle of friends and family is making it such a hard task. For starters, Gia's mother may not have gotten the memo on how not cool bratty step- sisters are. If she had, Gia would not be stuck at Candy's rib cage; Candy dishes out her fair share of sticky situations and dances on Gia's every nerve. And although she is the high steppers co-captain, Gia's problems only get worse. When Valerie, the other co-captain, commandeers Gia to rekindle an old flame between she and Kevin (Gia's BFF), sparks fly when Hope (Gia's cousin) is added to the mix. Yes, she wants him, too! Can you say dilemma? Now Gia must navigate the waves to extinguish all the fires surrounding her.
Nikki Carter penned a realistic and refreshing tale that pulls you into teen angst. The dialogue is funny, the scenes are vivid, and I loved how I could really relate to characters less than half my age. One message that will easily capture its audience is how sacrificing yourself to fit in is not the `bidness.' Messages that will reach audiences revolve around patience, trust, confidence, and honesty. This quick read captures your attention and leaves you craving more with good examples of the highs and lows of friendships, faith, and fun. Pick-up It Is What It Is to be entertained, enlightened, and energized. Darnetta Frazier APOOO BookClub

It Is What It Is,
By OOSA Online Book Club "O.O.S.A. Gets It Read!" (World Wide Web, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: It Is What It Is: A So For Real Novel (Paperback)
Now that her mother is marrying Elder LeRon Ferguson, Gia, while excited for her mother, realizes she's inheriting an evil step-sister, Candy. Everything that can go wrong does. Not only do they have to share a bedroom, but they are to be involved in the same activities and same curfew. While this elevates Candy's status as a freshman, it does nothing for Gia's. While Gia is trying to adjust to Ricky, her bff, being the object of Valerie, co-captain of Hi-Steppers and Hope, her cousins, affections, she's bombarded with her own emotions about Ricky. Rolling with the punches, Gia is just trying to maintain. While she's been able to add some new twists to her wardrobe she can't help but notice that Candy's clothes are seriously fly. That is until Gia discovers Candy's shopping expenditures are more than costly. Can Gia keep quiet about all that's going on? "It Is What It Is" book two in the So For Real Series is fun, honest and dare I say it, so for real! Reviewed by: Marshae Teen Reviewer
