Tyrell by Coe Booth

Now this one I have no trouble placing on my personal "do not like" list. I guess I will never get used to YA books where the main character gets a blow job from his girlfriend and then later that same night goes to bed with another girl. Yes, this is a gritty, and probably true to life tale about the inner city and how rough life is there. And perhaps I am showing my middle class white origins, but there are better books about inner city life, in my opinion. I will take You Don't Know Me by David Klass or Make Lemonade by Virginia Euwer Wolff or When Kambia Elaine Flew in from Neptune by Lori Aurelia Williams.
