The reason I chose to read this book is because it talks of real life situations that could happen. This book is written by urban males and written from their point of view. One of my favorite stories is about a male named Tow-Kay, getting married at the age of 16 to the love of his life, she is pregnant . After he gets married he starts to freak out and ruins the day. find as if this book brings real life "could happen" situations.

This collection of original stories and poems provides rare insight into the minds of adolescent African American boys. There’s Tow-Kaye, getting married at age seventeen to the love of his life, who’s pregnant. James writes in his diary about his twin brother’s terrible secret, while Tyler explains what it’s like to be a player with the ladies. And Eric takes us on a tour of North Philly on the Fourth of July, when the heat could make a guy go crazy. Sharon G. Flake’s talent for telling it like it is will leave readers thinking differently, feeling deeply, and definitely wanting more.
